The Legendary Troll Kingdom
In 1964 Dusty Springfield embarked on a tour of South Africa. Unlike a lot of other artists who went there, she put a clause in her contract that stipulated she would only play to non-segregated audiences. She and her band had just two shows under their belts when their passports were seized at a hotel in Capetown. For three days they weren't allowed access to phones and questioned by authorities who eventually told them they could only finish the tour if they respected apartheid regulations.

This was nearly 20 years before the anti-apartheid cause became trendy among celebrities.
