Although they didn’t face many racial challenges that the rest of the country encountered while living in New York, Leslie said she still received hate mail because of their marriage.

“When I go on tour in the United States, I sometimes get anonymous letters about being married to a white man,” Leslie stated. “I recall getting one in Detroit, of all places.” It was addressed to ‘The Little Negro Entertainer’ and arrived at the club.
