About Us
"Sows the Seeds of Positivity and Reaps the Flowers of Success!" ... J. Morris Anderson
The Miss Black America Pageant itself, is an activism story producing Heroes, Cheerleaders and yes, Queens. Not, just because in the year 1967, two little black girls told their daddy, "When I grow up, I want to be
Miss America," and the translation thereof.
This is definitely the story of a lifetime.
The Miss Black America Pageant, is an identity battle story, historically identifying and fighting misogyny and objectification of Black Women.
Afterall, Miss Black America is not a Beauty Pageant. It is an Activist Pageant, a Protest Pageant, A Confidence Pageant and an Opportunity Pageant.
Historically, the Miss Black America Pageant is one of the most profound gangsta documents of racial, political, social, industrial and corporate disruption. It spans more than five American decades, the before and the hereafter.
"It's pretty incredible how the Miss Black America Pageant reflects the evolution and the revolution of African-American female power alongside a huge sweep of American history that still resonates powerfully today."
