Title
Contestants, the Ideal Black Man beauty pageant
Description
Contestants lined up onstage at the Ideal Black Man beauty pageant, held in October 2018. The event challenged the stereotypes of Black men, allowing for contestants to see the men's whole selves as they discussed their majors, skills, styles and personalities.
The Black SistaHood was a student-founded organization established in 2018 and was active until 2020. Its membership was comprised of women and men and its mission was to break down stereotypes of Black people by hosting events to highlight the complexities and history of Black people and culture. Contestants are, from left to right, Edwind Troso Guilherme, Donavon Vernon, Makyi Mcintire, Lual Gatkuoth, Keenan Ocansey, Kenzo Fuller, and Kamal Elliot.
