African Americans were first allowed to compete in the Miss America Pageant in 1970. The first Black contestant, Cheryl Browne, participated in that year, but it wasn't until 1984 that Vanessa Williams became the first African American to win the title. This marked a significant moment in the pageant's history, reflecting broader changes in societal attitudes towards race and representation.

In what country did tap dancing start?
Tap dancing is actually an American form of dance. It is a blend of Irish step and African gumboot dancing. When both African Americans and the Irish were oppressed they somehow came together and tap was formed; a blend of steps from the Irish and rhythm and style from the African Americans. African Americans were not allowed to perform at first so minstrel shows were done by white people and they would black out their faces to make fun of the black dancers.

Where can Porgy and Bess 1959 be purchased?
Talk about re-writing history! I watched this movie as a child, and now due to people in power who believe we should be told what to watch and what to believe in we cannot watch this movie anymore. If you could compare this movie to the crud they show about black Americans doing in movies now-days you simply could not understand why this movie is NO LONGER ALLOWED to be seen in America. Notice I did not say russia. Americans need to be very worried about any sort of sensorship in America. The fact that a great movie such as this can be BANNED in American under cover, on the DOWN-LOW, should make every American stand up and ask "who the heck is able to do this" and "what else are these people going to be able to eliminate from the history of America?" A person in America today can buy or download any kind of filthy pornography they want FOR FREE, but they can't buy or download a great classic such as the 1959 movie Porgy & Bess. Answer 2. I've only checked Amazon, and you might want to try other sources, but as of RIGHT NOW they're showing it available new on an all-region DVD for $49.99. That's very high, but it's not "banned," and never has been.
