No word whether Howard University or Florida A&M have become tolerant enough to crown a white homecoming queen.

I’m speechless.

She must have a great personality!

Welcome the Ole Miss Homecoming, based on the novel Push by Sapphire.

Somebody put up the Sports Illustrated September 1962 front cover page. Quickly!

I sure hope the Homecoming float has reinforced steel propping it up.

If not, we might get a “Carrie” moment.

Holy Cow!

[Huskrrrr]

Looks more like “Miss DMV.”

I want to believe this was done with the highest and purest of motives; so why do I have the nagging suspicion that it actually was either a lark by a bunch of lackadaisical students....or worse yet, the same kind of insane do-gooder crap that resulted in the post turtle occupying the White Hut right now. It could even be something else, but lacking a photo of the runner-up......

My alma mater (Wisconsin State College, River Falls; now part of the UW system) in lily-white northern Wisconsin (we were just beginning then to get students from St. Paul/Minneapolis, only 30 miles away) elected its first black homecoming queen 50 years ago (class of '63).

[Tax-chick]

20,000 students, more or less, and fewer than 3,000 voted.

Best wishes to Ms. Pearson. I hope she has a nice time being Homecoming Queen.

[Red Badger]

I was raised just 25 miles from Ole Miss, back in the 60’s. I remember the long lines of National Guard (’Army men’ to an 8 year old) vehicles headed down the road to Oxford, to protect James Meredith.......

I’ll bet every time she turned around in the classroom she erased the blackboard.

Quality, make room for quantity.

They wanted the maximum return on investment, measured in poundage.

[DJ MacWoW]

Shame on you posters for the nasty comments about this young woman. You are the reason that conservatives have a bad reputation. You are focused on nothing but trivial and superficial. You have NO idea who this young woman really is.

Being Excorted by her proud father, Commander Kerri Pearson

[liberalh8ter]

I'm sorry but .......... What was the criteria for winning; total mass quantity?

[mnehring]

Wow, a lot of douchey comments here. Did it occur to anyone that while yea, she is rather large, she could be well loved and popular and that is why she won? I know a couple of rather large women whose personalities are so attractive and so loved, if by a popular vote, they could probably win Ms. America. Anyway, homecoming isn’t a beauty contest, it is choosing someone to represent that class, and that usually means the most popular, outgoing person.

The school just crowned Courtney Roxanne Pearson as their queen, with the student receiving the crowning during the halftime ceremonies of the Ole Miss-Auburn football game.

And then Pearson went out and single-handedly beat the Auburn football team.
