On December 30, 1971, eight members of the Unique Social & Community Club posed under an evergreen bower at the site of the sixth annual Red Rose Cotillion where college-age women made their debut into African American society. The event had previously been held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Winthrop Hotel; however, with the hotel's closing, the ball was moved to the 565 Restaurant on Broadway, the former Elks Temple.
