Submission by Greg Desince!Street Fighter 4 Bessie: Once during an outdoor performance in North Carolina in 1934, the Ku Klux Klan surrounded Bessie Smith’s tent. Smith single handedly confronted the group, asking the sheeted men, “What the fuck you think you’re doin’?” before telling them, “I’ll get the whole damn tent out here if I have to. You just pick up them sheets and run!” The Klansmen were shocked. They quickly turned around and disappeared into the night. -- source link
