Beauty is representation | The History of Miss Black Illinois
Black pageantry has it's own story right here in Illinois, and now it has it's own exhibit! Join us as we unveil our new exhibit on March 7th at the Springfield and Central Illinois African American History Museum as Mariah Smith, the current director tells the story of Illinois Black Pageantry through her eyes and experience. Spend the day with the Legacy Queens of the title as we honor 11 Queens of the past and present. Special guests to attend! Don't miss this monumental moment, but even if you do, our exhibit will be on display until the summer!
