Caption Celebrate its 50th anniversary with a look back at the Black and White Ball hosted by writer Truman Capote honoring Katharine Graham. Writer Truman Capote and Katharine Graham arrive at the Black and White Ball on Nov. 28, 1966. The Black and White Ball, held exactly 50 years ago, on Nov. 28, 1966, became the most famous party of the 20th century. “It’s hard to describe Truman as I first saw him,” Graham wrote. The Black and White Ball, at least the myth of it, survives them both.
