Confident in beauty
March 29, 2017
Miss Black Western was started in 1971, when black women were not allowed to participate in Homecoming court or to be crowned Homecoming queen. This tradition is still continued to help give black women confidence in their beauty. The nine women participating in it have put in a multitude of hours practicing for their presentations. Grad advisor and former Alpha Kappa Alpha member Emma Forte-Kendrick said, “They’ve really come a long way since I was last here.”
