The Miss Black USA Scholarship Pageant is a national scholarship competition for young women of African descent that was founded in 1986 by Karen Arrington.[1][2]

The Miss Black USA Pageant is a non-profit corporation in the state of Maryland, recognized under the 501(c)3 code of the Internal Revenue Service.

The current titleholder is Kelsi Alexandria Horn of Belleville, Michigan, who was crowned on August 12, 2018.

History and former titleholders

The first titleholder was Tamiko Gibson, representing Maryland, who was crowned Miss Black USA 1987 at the JW Marriot in Washington, D.C. on June 6, 1987.[3] Gibson would later complain that she had been improperly dethroned in May 1988 and received none of the promised prizes.[4][5]

On August 23, 2003, Elizabeth Muto won the pageant, which was held in Miami.[6] Muto returned her crown later that year because she was unhappy with the contract that the pageant asked her to sign, which would have made them her exclusive publicist, agent and manager.[6]

State pageants

Each year, state competitions are held across the nation including Alabama, Arizona,[7] California,[8] Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa,[9] Massachusetts,[10] Mississippi,[11] New York,[12] North Carolina,[13] Ohio,[14] Oregon,[15] South Carolina,[16] Tennessee,[17] Virginia[18] and Washington.[19] The Miss Black USA organization licenses the state pageants. Women from areas where a state pageant is not held may apply as a delegate-at-large.
