Black Woman Crowned Miss USA

A Black woman won Miss USA last night. Crystle Stewart will become a spokesperson for breast and ovarian cancer.

A 26-year-old entrepreneur from Texas was named Miss USA on Friday, besting 50 other beauty queens for the coveted crown.

Crystle Stewart, of Missouri City, Texas, runs a party-planning and motivational speaking company, as well as modeling professionally. She says she wants to dedicate her life to international philanthropy.

Ms. Stewart, who was the second African-American to win the crown of Miss Texas USA, will compete as Miss USA in the Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam in July. She also becomes a spokeswoman for breast- and ovarian-cancer awareness. Associate Press
