Traveling with a group of young Black female college students as part of a group attending a convention somewhere in the South she was allowed a room in a motel but the four Black girls weren't. She turned on her heel and walked out. When Al Gore Senior was traveling and took his black housekeeper along he'd bring her a sandwich in the back seat of the car while he and family ate inside.
Did you know her name is spelled Barbara ? The other spelling is just Streisand’s.
