Queen
In 1984, rock band Queen was at the height of their powers. So they embarked on a world tour, including a nine day stint in Sun City, South Africa. There was just one problem: South Africa was in the middle of apartheid, an institutional practice of segregation by race. The UN advocated for a worldwide disinvestment practice, to put economic and cultural pressure on South Africa to stop apartheid. Queen played anyway, citing their desire to play for the fans.
