Wait, the Miss America pagaent is still around?

Apparently yes. Last night, Miss America crowned its new winner: 25-year-old Nia Franklin. Formerly Miss New York, Nia is an opera singer who has a master's degree in music composition. The social topic she will make a priority during her reign is advocating for the arts.

In a pleasant surprise, the final 5 contestants were very diverse. Three out of five girls are black, and the first runner-up, Bridget Oei, is Asian. EDIT: Miss Florida might be Latina, I couldn't find info on her ethnicity.

Scandal and controversey has surrounded the Miss America pagaent. Last year, its CEO resigned because emails of his leaked in which he made fun of a former Miss America's weight and made misogynistic remarks about other contestants.
