Oh, what a night it was!

RADIANT AND LOVELY, actress Ruby Dee and philanthropist Julie Belafonte sparkle in stylish splendor at the Black Academy of Arts and Letters' glittering Second Annual Awards Banquet. These two ladies shared chairmanship of the gala evening which brought artists from around the world to the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Sunday night. These charmers, who worked so hard to make it all happen, are holding bouquets presented to them by Dr. C. Eric Lincoln, president of the Black Academy of Arts and Letters. (Gilbert Photo)
