Performers, poets and partygoers returned to the Covel Grand Horizon Room for the Afrikan Diaspora LLC’s annual Black Extravaganza on Feb. 13. The two-act event consisted of performances from student organizations and soloists, and the intermission gave attendees the opportunity to eat and take pictures at a photo-op station. The night concluded with a BET Awards-inspired ceremony based on audience votes in celebration of Black excellence.
