@Robergalv and why do you say she is not beautiful?
-
@caravaggio31 , maybe perhaps that is why I thought Janelle was from South Africa. I was like only 8 or 9 back then.

@PungiFungi Talking about irony:
Next year, 1978, Margaret Gardiner, from South Africa, a country under the racist laws of Apartheid, was crowned by......a black woman called Janelle Commissiong
This is irony.

I remember watching this. I was like about 8 years old and this was one of those time when you just knew Janelle was going to win. It didn't occur to me back then the significance of her victory and for some strange reason, back then, I thought she was from South Africa (oh the irony!).

She is really beautiful!

Kenya Moore was neither the first black Miss USA nor was she
ever Miss Universe. The first black Miss USA was Carole Gist, 1990, who represented Michigan (was 1st runnerup at Miss Universe 1990). Kenya was the second black woman to win the Miss USA crown in 1993. Kenya was fourth runnerup at the Miss Universe pageant. Do not confuse Miss USA pageant with the Miss America Pageant. Two different pageants
Janelle Commissiong is a beautiful and classy lady...
