First Deaf America Pageant
The first Miss Deaf America Talent Pageant was held in Miami Beach, Florida, during the 1972 NAD convention.
History
- The Miss Deaf America Pageant began after Douglas J. Burke had a vision about it.
- "In 1966, Burke established a National Cultural Program within the NAD for the purpose of finding the hidden talents of deaf people in the visual arts." (UAD)
- After the National Cultural Program was made, Burke still felt like there needed to be more. He then created the Miss America Deaf Pageant so "young, deaf and hard of hearing women ages 18-28 from across the United States represent their respective home state associations of the deaf and demonstrate their talents and accomplishments in a quest for the NAD Miss Deaf America title." (NAD)
