October 23, 1985 Jet Magazine - November 12, 1984 Kristina Kaye Smith 67th Rose Queen – Pasadena Tournament of Roses, 1985 Pasadena, Ca Thirty years ago today, I remember sitting on the couch in the living room, watching the news when it was announced that Kristina Kaye Smith had been selected Rose Queen for 1985. Kristina Kaye Smith was the first black Rose Queen. Congratulations to the 2015 Rose Queen - Madison Triplett and her Royal Court. Queen Madison is black as well, but in this day in age, the purpose of the Tournament is far greater than the skin color of this 17 year old. 2019 – Gerald K. Freeny, will preside over the Tournament of Roses as President. (He will be the first black man to hold the presidency)
