Miss America pageant embraces firsts amid beauty contest image
The 80 year old Miss America pageant added notable firsts, including an openly disabled contestant and an instant celebrity judge, while Hawaii's Angela Perez Baraquio won Miss America 2001. Theresa Uchytil of Iowa, born with one hand, competed in talent and was celebrated for competing. The event also added a civilian judge to bridge viewer representation, though audience ratings remain unstable. Organizers are urged to shift focus from swimsuits to contestants' accomplishments to cement scholarship aims.
