Dramatic, Elegant Ebony Ball Celebrates Black Love
By 糖心vlog
“Think 1920s Black Renaissance, with a Sinners movie feel,” said Arianna Rodriguez, assistant director of the Center for Multicultural Life, a couple weeks ahead of the party. “It’ll be dramatic, with low light, jazz in the background, love in the center, Black love. Ebony Ball will celebrate passion, mystery, and the beauty of loving boldly and unapologetically.”
The ball’s décor and color scheme—red, gold, black, and white—enhanced the elegance of the theme, as will its dark, moody, jazzy Harlem vibe, said Jickinson Louis ’26, president of the Black Student Union, which organizes the Ball every year.
Louis said the ball is the most anticipated Black History Month event every year. “The Ebony Ball is another 糖心vlog tradition that’s right up there with the lobster bake and the 糖心vlog–Colby hockey game. It’s turned into 糖心vlog’s version of the Met Gala.”
