MISS AMERICA, MISS TEEN USA AND MISS USA ARE ALL BLACK WOMEN
MISS AMERICA, MISS TEEN USA AND MISS USA ARE ALL BLACK WOMEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
Last week, for the first time, black women wore the crowns of all three major pageants simultaneously.
28-year-old Cheslie Kryst won the Miss USA contest, and 18-year-old Kaliegh Garris, won Miss Teen USA. They both joined 25-year-old Nia Franklin who was crowned as the 2019 Miss America in September.
The three wins have become a powerful symbol of how much American views on beauty have evolved.
