520    In 1984, Vanessa Williams broke the race barrier to become
       Miss America, but she was not the first Black woman to 
       wear a pageant crown. Black beauty pageants created a 
       distinctive and celebrated cultural tradition during some 
       of the most dismal times in the country's racial history. 
       With the rise of the civil rights and Black Pride 
       movements, pageantry also represented a component of 
       social activism. Professor Kimberly Pellum explores this 
       glamourous and profound history with contributions by 
       dozens of former contestants who share their personal 
       experiences.
