Berniece Collins
The first African American woman to be a clown in “The Ringling Barnum and Bailey Circus”.

Side note:
At one point of my childhood my mom was a clown. It was realy cool, because I was in a lot of magic shops and what not. She use to bring me along to parties and I would be the little clown, and the children freakin’ loved it. One day my mom was driving with her blue wig and full face of make up, and some Blood pulled up to her and said, “You wearing the wrong color wig over here”… aaaah clowns getting banged on. *sigh*
