Black History Month will ends this weekend, but the Black Affairs Council has organized an entertaining extravaganza to help continue the celebration of African-American culture.

Romante Archer, programming chairman of the Black Affairs Council Red, Black and Green Ball tonight, said the ball will bring a refreshing social occasion to the area.

We try to bring forth a new experience to campus, he said. The ball is an opportunity for cultural expression of the black experience.
