The 1970 contest was held in London, United Kingdom. It began with a row because the organisers had allowed two entries from South Africa, one black, Pearl Jansen, and one white. Then during the evening there were protests by women's liberation activists and flour was thrown. The comedian, Bob Hope, was also heckled. Jennifer Hosten, Miss Granada, won, becoming the first black woman to win Miss World, and Pearl Jansen was placed second.
