Last Friday, black excellence was celebrated at Fisk University's first ever Black Ball. The ball was developed and sponsored by the SGA as a way to promote black excellence and celebrate black history month. The beautiful black ladies and debonair gents of Fisk University's campus showed up dressed to impress in their ball gowns and suits. The Appleton Room was decorated lavishly to suit the occasion and the delicious food was meticulously prepared by our own delicious food was meticulously prepared by our own

Thompson Hospitality catering services. Seeing that the black ball was our own version of the black Oscar's or Academy Awards, formal attire was a must. There were some who exceeded fashion expectations as usual while others were just able step out of their attire comfort zone. Here are some of the

most fashionable looks of the night.
