On February 3, 2018, the Clerisy Circle and Community Partners will fill the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel with 150+ influential leaders within the Nashville community to celebrate Black History Month, recognize the impact and contributions of African-Americans in Nashville, and highlight the importance of generational, race-based diversity. This night of excellence will transform the atmosphere with a 1920's Harlem Renaissance vibe, live music by The Marcus J Band, cocktails, light hors-d'oeuvres, and include an exciting Casino Experience. Designed to kick-off Black History Month and serve as a signature event, The Inaugural Onyx & Amethyst Ball: A Celebration of Timeless Excellence will celebrate the successes of leaders, organizations, and corporations that positively impact African-American communities.
