- Can we please get to the bottom of Dorothy Dandridge's involvement in the U.S. Civil Rights Era? A rumor has been circulating that she dipped her toe in the pool at the Hotel Last Frontier in Vegas after she performed there for two weeks, but the veracity of this claim is hard to pin down, especially with Snopes saying it may or may not be true. Perhaps you have some resources to bring to bear on the matter. -- ke4roh (talk) 00:18, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
