I helped block the streets around the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain to try to stop the all white South African cricket team play against the West Indies during the days of Apartheid. I am not sure that I would do that again as the police simply forced us to move car by car but we did delay the start by a few hours leading to publicity world wide.
My home town of Glasgow made a wonderful gesture at that time by renaming the Square where the South African Embassy or High Commission? was located "Nelson Mandela Square". A lovely passive aggressive way of getting the message across. Made me proud to be a Weegie.?
