Dear Sir,
Recently, there have been many efforts to try to find the real Bermuda heroes.
So far, no luck.
Look no farther.
Under the cloak of darkness in a very dignified and quiet way, the Theatre Boycott group changed history and the way we live together in 1959.
No riots. No bloodshed. Just a quiet, well-planned organisation.
They, to me, are the real heroes of Bermuda.
