About Her Participation
Barbara Mack returned
from Philadelphia excited
abouth her participation in
the "Miss Black America"
contest.
From July 16-23 the
18-year-old Miss. Black
North Carolina beauty
spent hour upon hour in
photographing sessions and
preparing for the national
competition which was held
July 23.
“I enjoyed the activities
as a whole and just didn't
want to say good-bye to all
the contestants whom I
fellowshipped with the en
tire time I was there," Bar
bara stated.
Though Barbara com
peted against 26 women she
also stated she found friend
ship in each of those 26. "It
was strange, because even
though we were competing
against each other we all
gave tips on makeup; we
held each other's hand and
we laughed and cried
together the entire time we
were in Philadelphia.” Bar
bara smiled.
Thotrgh the Olympic
High School graduate didn’t
win the title of Miss Black
America she walked way
with some awards that she
feels certain she will never
forget. One of those awards
is participation in a beauty
queen promotional project
sponsored by Personal Plus,
Inc., and Pretty Girl USA
both of Chicago.
Barbara was selected
along with four other Miss
Black USA contestants to
visit Chicago August 12-16
for the promotional project.
The project will include in
terviews with some of the
top modeling agencies and
also career advice from peo
ple who are in the modeling
business.
Barbara will also be in
the Billiken Parade with
Miss Black America, Sonya
Robertson of Wisconsin.
Othe^ activities in the Win
dy City include barbecues
and dances and interviews
with Jet Magazine. WJPC
radid and the Chicago
Defender newspaper, "fm
really looking forward to
meeting Mayor
Washington. Barbara
revealed excitingly: another
treat arranged through the
promotion.
As soon as Barbara
returns from Chicago, she
will be concentrating on
another appearance. She
was selected by the Bob
Hope USO Tour coor
dinator to travel with the
troupe on an American and
European tour in January .
“At some places I will per
form my talent from the
pageant which was the
“Theme From Mahogany."
explained Barbara. She is
also training under the
direction of Ted Avery and
will perform several other
sonits.
According to Barbara,
she is eligible to compete for
the Miss Black America ti
tle next year. Single women
with no dependents and
who are ages 18-23 are eligi
ble for the contest. In North
Carolina Barbara had no
competitors. However, she
imagines that will change
next year since North
Carolina did have a
representative this year.
“It’s better to have so
meone to compete against
on the state level because it
prepares you better for the
national contest, Barbara
pointed out. She was the
first contestant the night of
the pageant in Philadelphia.
Barbara is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie
Howard. The Miss Black
America Pageant will be
aired in Charlotte August 27
