Freshman, Kayla White, from Louisville, Kentucky gets her formal dress tied up during the Miss Black Western Pageant practice that was held in Garret Hall on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The pageant is the 45th annual event hosted by the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA), because they were’t allowed to participate in homecoming events so they created Miss Black Western. Ebony Cox/HERALD
