- ... that the first black councillor for a city within Wales, Gaynor Legall, had relatives who helped hide guns during the 1919 South Wales race riots?
- Source: “They told me about barricading the front door each night and taking stones and bricks onto the landing. I asked why? They told me that in case the rioters got over the bridge and broke into the house, they could throw stones down on them. They told me about sewing pockets inside the men’s coats so they could hide knives or guns. They said the men had to protect themselves and their families from the gangs.”
