DECEMBER 19: Miss Black America Atlanta Pageant

The Miss Black America Atlanta Pageant is coming to Cobb Energy Centre Thursday, December 19th at 8:30 p.m. The dazzling show is presented by Georgia Whirl Productions, a proud member of SOMBA (the sisterhood of Miss Black America) which produces the nationally televised Miss Black America Pageant. 

The purpose of the Miss Black America Atlanta Pageant is to support, educate, and uplift its delegates through workshops, community service projects, educational courses in etiquette, business, self care, physical and mental health awareness, and personal development. These endeavors culminate in a pageant production each year that celebrates the art, culture, and history of African American culture. The shining moment of this affair is the choosing, by way of areas of competition, of one delegate who will advance to the national Miss Black America Pageant representing the state of Georgia.

The Miss Black America Atlanta Pageant is a night full of talent, humor, and ingenuity showcasing the beauty of the African American community.  Featured talent includes The Real Black Santa, Orchestra Noir, Blaque, ATL Drumline Academy and Theresa Tha Songbird.
