On Saturday, June 2, 2018, The Milwaukee Urban League hosted its 33rd Annual Black & White Ball at The Wisconsin Center, 400 W. Wisconsin Ave. This year’s theme “Journey to 100,” marked a year long celebration to the 100th anniversary of the MUL next year.
Started in 1985, the Black & White Ball’s goal is to promote diversity and celebrate the “coming together” of the community to enact change. The event also serves as the MUL’s key fundraiser, so that they may continue with their many vital community based programs and initiatives.
This year featured a musical performance by recording artist Sheila E.
