Augusta University gears up for 2nd annual Black History Month Ball
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Thursday marks the first day of Black History Month, and Augusta University is getting ready for its second annual Black History Month Ball.
The ball celebrates local Black history icons and their contributions.
The assistant director for the multicultural engagement office talks to us about this year’s theme.
“Because Beyonce had a stellar concert this summer, we were like it has to be Beyonce Renaissance because she is for the culture. She’s about the visuals. So that’s how we went about the theme,” said Shontrea Hogans.
The event will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday in the Jaguar Student Activities Center’s Roscoe Williams Ballroom.
The event is open to everyone.
