.@RepBeatty is a national hero. She has fiercely and courageously stood up for the Kennedy Center, for the arts, for Uncle Jack’s memory, for this country’s history, and most importantly, for the law, time and time again. We will not be bullied into silence or submission. Thank you, Rep. Beatty. We are all so grateful for your leadership.

👑On September 17, 1983, New York’s Vanessa Williams made history by becoming the first Black contestant crowned Miss America. Ten months later, Williams was forced to resign after nude photos (taken before her reign) were published in Penthouse without her consent. In 2015, Miss America publicly apologized to Williams for how she was treated by the organization, telling her she was, and always would be, Miss America
