I don’t know what her competitors looked like, but I can see some merit to the judges’ verdict.

“Yes, Kiya Burgess, a black woman, won the Ben Franklin lookalike competition.”

Did she bring someone to represent Ben Franklin's held-to-service help?

She does look a bit like him, but is that a compliment for a woman?

Maybe the Judges had no idea how Ben Franklin even looked, since they “only barely even heard of him in school.”
