Shown here are two activists, Elliot Fratkin and Mankekolo Mahlangu-Ngcobo, along with her daughter. Local activists discovered the shipment after an activist dockworker reported on an earlier shipment that required a HAZMAT clean-up crew after a 40-gallon container of yellowcake spilled en route to Baltimore. Following the demonstration, the activist proposed a resolution to Baltimore City Council banning the transport of all uranium and nuclear materials, including South African uranium, through Baltimore city. The resolution was passed. Sources of information: Elliot Fratkin and http://www.sea-us.org.au/gulliver/rossing.html.
