The day has come finally especially with the choppy political waters between the U.S. and the Middle East, that the latest Miss America is an Arab-American.

Rima Fakih, a 24-year-old Lebanese immigrant from Michigan, took the crown at the latest Miss America pageant!

"Many are calling it a victory for diversity in the United States, especially at a time when Arabs suffer from negative stereotypes in this country - and anti-immigrant sentiment in the news."

We at S&H definitely see it as a step in the right direction, it was great seeing all our fellow Arabs here in the U.S. rejoice.
