  • A Brief History of the Miss Ebony Pageant at Indiana State University: 1970 to the Present
    A Brief History of the Miss Ebony Pageant at Indiana State University: 1970 to the Present By Crystal Mikell Reynolds, Ph.D. 1 Before there was a Miss Ebony, there was a Miss Black ISU. In the wake of the modern day civil rights movement in the United States, college campuses were changing all across the country, and Black students on predominately White campuses would no longer accept the status quo. The newly established Black Student Union (1968) at Indiana State University (BSU) had as one of its platform items the elevation of the Black woman. As Black women were relegated to a second class status across the nation, taking its lead from the Black Panther Party, Black men in the BSU at Indiana State University saw it as their mission to elevate, celebrate, honor, and respect Black women (Dixon, 9/2/18). The Miss Black ISU Pageant would be the vehicle to do just that. In its original form the Miss Black ISU pageant incorporated African centered themes and customs. It was a celebration of African Americans’ African roots. Co-sponsored by the Black Student Union and the African American Cultural Center (sponsorships that continued for many decades) the first pageants had the young ladies sport traditional African attire, give interviews that showcased their social and political platforms, and perform their unique talents in a talent competition. In March 1970, Eugenia Walker received the honor of being the first Miss Black ISU. The crowning of Walker was a proud moment for African Americans on ISU’s campus as Black students had their very own Black Queen.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. 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.

Know that we are and will remain focused on ensuring that the young women competing in this state have a top notch experience and the opportunity to earn significant scholarship dollars. That being said...we announced our distinguished panel of judges this week!
