Seven women of African-American ancestry won the title Miss America, though eight have held the crown. The first, Vanessa Williams, relinquished her crown due to scandal about two months before the end of her reign, at which time the crown passed to her first runner-up, Suzette Charles, making Charles the second black Miss America, and the first (and, to date, only) Miss America of any race to hold the title without winning the pageant.
