Black is Beautiful Week, in February 1970, was heralded with a dance and beauty pageant sponsored by the Black Student Council.
Delois Kelley, a 22-year-old senior, was crowned Miss BSC.
Various cultural events were featured during that week, including dance groups, bongo players, art shows and a costume design contest.
Rounding out the week, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), noted African-American poet and playwright, read some of his poems and the Spirit House Movers performed two plays.
