Blackwells Receive Many r v __ Calls Of Congratulations . inere nave been many calls of congratulations to the Blackwell residence lately. Shari Blackwell, a tall slender beauty, was chosen from thousands of entries by EBONY maga zine as one of the “Ten Most Beautiful Black Women In America.” (No vember issue .) Ms. Blackwell says it is too soon to speculate if the article will make any sig nificant changes in her life. But the fact remains that this UNC-Charlotte senior Afro-American, African Studies and Business Ad ministration major has a certain charisma few can ignore. It was Ms. Blackwell's 13 year-old sister’s idea to nominate her name. Valia sent in 25 words or less a description of her sister. Sophisticated, elegant, sen sitive and caring were only a few adjectives used. And by the time the interviews were completed the EBONY staff members agreed totally. As one of the 10 final ists Shari Blackwell will receive $1,000 and Valia will receive $500 for her nomination. “I’ll probably ch^jjpel the money back int<r the household - whatever the family de cides to do with it,” Ms. Blackwell stated. As for Valia’s $500, “She’ll pro bably save it,” she con Valia Blackwell ...made it possible tinued. Her ambitions have not changed. Ms. Blackwell would still prefer to work in a managerial position in Charlotte or Atlanta, Ga. Eventually she would like to own a business concen trating on fashions. At 21, standing S’7" at 115 pounds, Ms. Blackwell has modeled frequently and at UNCC was named Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Miss. But the beauty on the outside is not the only attributes of Ms. Black well. She realizes that her education is an important aspect of her life. She feels that one should always have something to fall back on. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. John Blackwell. Emily Blackwell is her grandmother. The community seems delighted that a Charlotte native has acquired such an honor. Ms. Blackwell was chosen from thousands of letters and photographs submitted to EBONY. These letters and photo graphs were finally re duced to 200 by a special committee of the Editorial Board. Celebrities and es tablished symbols of Black beauty were not included in an effort to give full play to the millions of undis covered beautiful Black women in America. The final selection was made by the full Editorial Board, supplemented by a special board of Black women, beauty experts and art directors. This group picked 40 women in differ ent sections of the country and asked for additional photographs. In September some women were flown to Chi cago and Los Angeles for photographic sessions and — photographers were dis patched to North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio and Texas. _ I Wanda Anderson Vies For “Miss Mardi Gras” rvanoa ausan Anaerson will be one of four young ladies seeking to become queen of the Mardi Gras at the Omega Psi Phi Fra ternity, Inc.
