AND Ms. Rolle's 'Night on Broadway' was conservative, because stageplays are $200-300 per ticket! AND I have known Woodie King for decades, as my mother Juanita Clark started with Ruby Dee and others in his Henry Street Settlement performances. Ms. Rolle was a friend of late mom's and a guest in our Home! RIP to my Queens!

Why would she have to let that be known? Were people in the habit of disrespecting her? What you're describing would be someone with a chip on their shoulder due to an inferiority complex. I don't think she gives that aura in any way.
