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, at least the myth of it, survives them both.
