Adding yet another title to her already impressive resume, Miss North Carolina A&T, and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.’s Miss Black and Gold, Ngozi Opara won first runner up in the 2009-2010 National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame Pageant held in Atlanta, Saturday Sept. 26.
“I was really excited and proud of myself,” said Opara. “All the months of preparing and training really paid off.”
Opara, along with 27 other queens from 27 different Historically Black College and Universities throughout the nation ranging from Howard University to Alabama A&M, came together at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta hotel to compete in this year’s pageant entitled, “HBCU’s Still Relevant…Still Needed.”
