In his victory speech on the night of November 4, 2008, Barack Obama, the first black (African American, biracial?) President reaffirmed the themes of “hope and change” that were central to his campaign. He stated that his election was the answer “that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve, to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.”2 He went on to point out that “[i]ts [sic] been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.”3 So with his reelection just a year away, now is an appropriate time to reflect on whether this truly is a time for hope and change.

  • Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.

Waco, Texas: Baylor University Press, 2019, 249 pp. Dr ELWOOD WATSON (Co-Editor in Chief) Department of History, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, United States. Article History Published by: 26 November 2020 In Miss America’s God: Faith and Identity in America’s Oldest Pageant, Professor Mandy McMichael deftly provides a concrete narrative of how the frequently complex issues of sex, entertainment, competition, and religion have intersected throughout the pageant’s history in meaningful, contradictory, unpredictable, and complex ways that have provided for a frequently controversial yet riveting annual competition. The author does this within five chapters. McMichael discusses how fierce opposition from the Catholic Church and other religious institutions during the inaugural years of the pageant (1921–1928) culminated in the pageant’s suspension for a few years (in 1929–1932 and 1934). The early years of the pageant were filled with salacious stories of naive young women arriving in Atlantic City only to be seduced and corrupted by unscrupulous men. Similar stories of debauchery continued well into the mid-1930s until pageant officials realized that something had to be done to change the sordid image of the contest. In 1935, the pageant hired Lenora Slaughter, a Southern religious woman who had years of experience in public relations. The decision turned out to be a positive and productive one for the pageant. Slaughter implemented numerous stipulations that were effective in eventually transforming the image of an event that had been largely dismissed as tawdry, earthy, and renegade to one of a contest populated by wholesome, CONTACT Dr Elwood Watson [email protected] Department of History, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, United States.

  • MISS AMERICAN Methodist: Twentieth-Century Beauty Pageants AS Christian MISSION Christopher J. Anderson Since 1921, the Miss
    Methodist History, 56:2 (January 2018) MISS AMERICAN METHODIST: TWENTIETH-CENTURY BEAUTY PAGEANTS AS CHRISTIAN MISSION Christopher J. Anderson Since 1921, the Miss America pageant has become a coveted and con- troversial showcase of young women from locations throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.1 Contestants have been crowned and marketed as talented, intelligent, and physically attractive. While competing definitions of beauty and sexuality have been intricately woven into the fabric of the pageant since its inception, the spectacle has also functioned as a public stage to broadcast the political, social and religious perspectives of and agen- das for each contestant. Examples include Jean Bartel, who in 1943 used her Miss America victory to promote and sell war bonds to the American public. In 1998, Kate Shindle used her title as a means to bring global awareness to persons with HIV/AIDS, and in 1975 and 1995 Shirley Cothran and Heath- er Whitestone brokered their respective pageants as platforms to propagate their Christian faith.2 The purpose of this essay is to introduce the multiple ways in which twentieth-century beauty contests have functioned as carefully crafted ven- ues that spotlight and promote certain forms of attractiveness alongside the winner’s Christian faith—particularly through the forms of Protestant wom- en’s bodies representing the larger institutional denominational bodies of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist Church and The United Methodist Church. The essay explores the origins of the Miss America pageant and highlights three specific competitions where American Methodists shaped and marketed contests to showcase ideal Methodist women who were phys- ically appealing, vibrant in their Christian faith, and active within their local Methodist church.

Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
