If you’re anything like me on Sunday night (September 13) you watched the 2016 Miss America pageant just to see Vanessa Williams receive her formal apology from the organization 32 years after her controversial nude photo scandal. In case you missed the historic and emotional moment watch it HERE.
Well after sitting at the judges table all night and finally crowning the newest inductee in the Miss America family, Vanessa posed it up backstage with the winner, Ms. Georgia as well as past women of color who followed in Vanessa’s steps to become Miss America. Get into the snaps below.
