Brittany Lee Lewis Instagram – Brittany Lee Lewis made history as the 49th Miss Black America, walking in the legacy of former winners like Oprah Winfrey and Toni Braxton and continuing the legacy of Black protest via the country’s first nationally televised pageant for Black women. Brittany’s national title dovetailed perfectly as an African-American, urban, and U.S. 20th-century history professor. Today, Brittany utilizes her platform as a thought leader through her role as a community activist, public speaker, and television personality.
Brittany completed her undergraduate studies at Temple University, where she earned degrees in Broadcast, Telecommunications, Mass Media, and African-American Studies. After graduating, she was accepted into the highly competitive Teach for America program. Through the program, she obtained a Master of Secondary Education degree and graduated with distinction.
Brittany is a professor of Ethnic Studies at Wilmington University and a Ph.D. candidate in the History Department at George Washington University. She specializes in social movements, political ideology, and the nation-state. Since her time in graduate school, she has worked as the chairperson of the George Washington University branch of the D.C. History Graduate Student Association, social media chair of The Activist History Review (TAHR), member of Yale’s Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society, and Graduate Student Labor Union. Brittany is also the recipient of the George Washington University’s Herber Prize for Best Teaching. She has taught African American Women’s History 1850-1990, The Black Woman, American Slavery & Its Legacies, African American History to 1861, and African American History from 1861. Her most recent publication, “White Philanthropy Won’t Save Black Education: Tracing an “Ordinary” Segregated School’s Life in Delaware,” can be found in the Journal of Black Studies.
In addition to her academic and pageant endeavors, Brittany is a political commentator and host. She’s a regular contributor for Fox5 DC, Revolt TV, CGTN, Roland Martin Show, R.T. News, and a range of syndicated shows through the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
