This is how I remember Norma. It was the day the Metropolitan Police banned the Non-Stop Picket and it was illegal to demonstrate in outside the South African Embassy in London's Trafalgar Square. "Who will get arrested with me?" Norma said. And here she stands with three comrades, in the pouring rain, about to be led away to a police cell, the first in a long series of protests that led to the reinstatement of the Non-Stop Picket and, arguably, the release of Nelson Mandela from his prison.
