Nick Cannon was charged with hosting duties for the prestigious Ebony Magazine Power 100 gala. The festivities took place Monday (November 4) and featured an abundance of beautiful, bold, black faces in celebration of the nation’s most influential African American’s accomplishments. All hand picked by Ebony’s staff.

The night was equipped with style, class and amazing performances by the likes of the iconic Jackson 5. It was also a night of deserving honorees like Motown Records founder Berry Gordy who was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
