America's top beauty pageant winners are all black women for the first time in history.
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.Miss USA and Miss Teen USA have been held annually since 1952 and 1983 respectively.
“Mine is the first generation to have that forward-looking mindset that has inclusivity, diversity, strength and empowered women,” Kryst said during her crowning speech. “I’m looking forward to continued progress in my generation.” A former Division I track star turned civil litigation attorney, Kryst was hailed for addressing the #MeToo movement during the pageant, stating that the outcry over sexual harassment has not gone too far. “#MeToo and #TimesUp are about making sure that we foster safe and inclusive workplaces in our country,” said Kryst, who holds an M.B.A. and a law degree from Wake Forest University and provides free legal work to prisoners who have been unjustly sentenced.
