I was watching the Miss America Pageant when Vanessa Williams was crowned the first African- American Miss America. Hey this was just as big as Barrack Obama winning the presidency. African Americans were so proud of her.

In that very same year Vanessa Williams was forced to resign because Penthouse purchased and published some nude pictures and published them.

That issue of Penthouse is the biggest grossing issue ever.

The question that African Americans ask is why Penthouse published the pictures two months before her reign was over.  Many including myself thought it was a race thing.

Well thirty-two years later Vanessa will return as head judge for the pageants 95th competition this year.
