One particular comment she made was that she would always have difficulty getting a cab to go home after the show because she was black. She would go thru 3 hours of audience love and adulation. And after she would leave the stage door she would nose dive right back to reality because she could never get a cab to go home. So she would encourage her white friends to come repeatedly and second act. Then they would walk with her and get her a cab. That is just one story that comes to mind.
