Mary Manning knew little about apartheid when, at the age of twenty-one, she refused to register the sale of two South African grapefruits under a directive from her union. She was suspended and nine of her co-workers walked out in support. They all assumed they would shortly return to work. But their voices ignited a mass movement they couldn't imagine. Despite harassment from the police, government, and church, they refused to be silenced. Within months they were embroiled in a dispute that captured the world's attention. In this searing account, Mary tells the story of their public fight for justice. This is a provocative story that epitomizes the resilience of hope even under the most formidable circumstances.
