An Alabama pageant winner seems to be taking a positive message from the experience despite online backlash, which itself became the subject of a report from one Mobile news station. Sara Milliken of Atmore recently was crowned the Alabama winner of the National American Miss pageant, which entitles her to represent the state at the national level. WKRG-TV5 reported on the win, saying that it was Milliken’s third attempt after becoming interested in the competition about eight years ago. About a week later, however, WKRG followed up with an extensive report on backlash the station, reporter Summer Poole and Milliken received on social media accounts.
