Meet the beautiful black women competing in the Miss USA pageant!!

On Sunday, June 5 the FOX network will air the live telecast of the Miss USA 2016 pageant. Hosted by Terrance Jenkins and Julianne Hough, the competition has a total of 52 contestants vying for the title and the chance of a lifetime - to represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant.

Sadly, out of the 52 contestants there are only seven black women in the pageant. I wish there were a lot more. So much for diversity huh? Seven women and two Latinas? Tsk tsk tsk

Nights to remember! 🌃👑🇺🇸 #missgausa #roadtothecrown #Roadtomissusa #lasvegas #citynights #thankful #views #beautiful
