PICTURE OF THE WEEK
February 7, 1999
February is Black History Month in the USA, and Beauty School marks the occasion with Trinidad and Tobago's Janelle Commissiong, Miss Universe 1977.
Janelle made pageant history in July 1977 when she became the first black woman to wear the Miss Universe crown. In this photo, we see her in rehearsals, receiving the "Miss Photogenic" award from pageant host Bob Barker.
Watch for other history makers this month in our Picture of the Week feature.
Many thanks to Beauty School's esteemed benefactor for sharing this photo with us.
