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.

  • Vote of No Confidence and a Demand for the Immediate Resignation of the Entire Miss America Board of Trustees and President/Ceo
    VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AND A DEMAND FOR THE IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF THE ENTIRE MISS AMERICA BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT/CEO We, the undersigned state licensees of the Miss America Organization (MAO), represent all areas of the United States, decades of leadership, and innumerable contributions to the legacy of the Miss America Organization at every level. As dedicated members of our state and local communities who lend our reputations, financial support, and voluntary efforts to facilitate MAO’s long and powerful mission of empowering women to stand up and speak out, we find ourselves needing to use our own voices of leadership to express our profound disappointment regarding what, in our view, is the failed leadership of the entire MAO Board of Trustees led by Ms. Gretchen Carlson as its Chair and Ms. Regina Hopper as its President and CEO. The recent ouster of two duly elected Trustees, followed by the resignations of two elected Miss Americas from the nine-member Board, have underscored our grave concerns regarding the direction in which MAO is headed, its financial viability, and the expected exercise of all duties attendant to each Trustee as required by law. We were promised transparency, competence, and adherence to best practices and good governance. The current Trustees and identified staff member have both individually and collectively failed to deliver on those promises and commitments. In our opinion their leadership has demonstrated that “Miss America 2.0” is simply a new title for the same old tactics of obfuscation and fear-based governance. THEREFORE, we the undersigned state licensees expressly declare NO CONFIDENCE IN THE ENTIRE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
