In the view menu of Photos be sure that the Sidebar is shown (View > Show Sidebar) - iPhoto events have been converted into albums and are in the albums sections in a folder named "iPhoto events". Can you double-click on a 'greyed box' and see an image? I know you mentioned before you see a white box after you click. Can you open any image under Albums in the Side?
The thumbnails are damaged and Photos doesn't have a specific First Aid procedure to Rebuild Thumbnails like iPhoto does. Something worth doing is - Boot the MBP into Recovery Volume (Command + R keys down). Select Disk Utility and 'Repair Disk Permissions' and 'Repair Disk'. Reboot normally and try Photos again. I'll send you 'off-list' a screenshot of my opened Photos showing Albums - All Photos -Faces etc FYI.
