When judges announced Alicia's coronation as Virginia Senior America 2018 black women from the Washington D.C. Senior America delegation, celebrated -- but gossip flew among Virginia's historically white organization. If D.C. women were celebrating Virginia's white women rationalized that the new queen must be --- black and drew a line in the sand.
