Mel Lewis reigns as Miss Bold Black ‘71
Mel Lewis was crowned Miss Bold Black at the Homecoming dance which was held at the Eagles Club. Mel is a sophomore from Kansas City, Kansas, and is majoring in business education. She is a member of the Black Student Movement and Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Mel plans to pursue a career in the secretarial field. When asked if she considered Homecoming to be an essential part of college life, she said that she felt it was relevant when it played an equal part for all of the students. She then added, “I would like Homecoming to be changed so that black girls would have an equal chance in running for Homecoming queen, so that there wouldn’t be any diversified attitudes.”
