Swimsuit competition
"All these women onstage are more than just that," Miss America 2019 Nia Imani Franklin said after her win.
HuffPost spoke with Gretchen Carlson and past winners about nixing the bikini competition and the future of the pageant during the Me Too era.

Miss America Organization chair Gretchen Carlson has pledged to make the contest more inclusive in response to Me Too.
