America's top beauty pageant winners are all black women for the 1st time in history by ruthumohnews
In a historic feat, three black women simultaneously reign as Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss America.
The oldest of the three pageants is Miss America, which dates back to the early 1920s but only began accepting women of color in the 1940s. Cheryl Browne became the first black women to participate in 1970 and Vanessa Williams was crowned the first black Miss America in 1983. She was later forced to resign her post after nude photos emerged toward the end of her reign.
Amid changing gender norms and increased scrutiny over female objectification, the three beauty pageants have implemented significant changes in recent years. The Miss Universe Organization, which oversees Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, began allowing transgender women to participate in 2012 and the Miss America organization scrapped the swimsuit segment of the competition last year.
The new Miss USA topped an ethnically diverse field of finalists, highlighting a growing shift away from longstanding Eurocentric standards of beauty. New Mexico’s Alejandra Gonzalez, the first runner-up, is of Mexican descent and Oklahoma’s Triana Browne, the second runner-up, has Native American heritage and an African American mother.
