This Teen Made History by Wearing a Burkini at the Miss Minnesota USA Pageant
Halima Aden made history over the weekend by wearing a burkini and hijab during the Miss Minnesota USA pageant.
The teenager, who was born in a refugee camp in Kenya before moving to the U.S. at the age of six, did not win the pageant, but she told CBS that she hopes her participation helped combat misconceptions about Islam.
