What is the Ebony Affair?!
Excerpt from the an interview with former BGSA Executive Board
“The Ebony Affair was started approximately 30 years ago by members of the BGSA with the support of Dr. John Turner, Office of the Dean of the Graduate School. There was no semi-formal/formal event for Black graduate students at MIT and students felt there was a need for such an event. Since then, the BGSA at MIT and students felt there was a need for such an event. Since then, the BGSA has presented the Ebony Affair each spring to the MIT community. Entertainment usually includes live bands, jazz and dancing along with other performances. One of the main goals of the Ebony Affair is to provide an event for socializing and networking among undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and others." |
