Dorothy Adams Williams (January 1928 – April 2011) was a South African educator who fought against apartheid. Adams was subject to a banning order and eventually left South Africa in exile; she worked with Albie Sachs in London. After her return to South Africa with her husband, Frank Williams, they were the first mixed-race couple on their street in Wellington, Western Cape.
Quotes

We would meet the three together with any other person that any of us had thought might be interested.
