During the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, Cameroon, along with many other African countries, boycotted due to the participation of New Zealand, who still had sporting links with South Africa.
Athletes from Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia competed on July 18-20 before these nations withdrew from the Games.
Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“Although its growth may seem to have been slow, it is to be remembered that it is not a shrub, or plant, to shoot up in the summer and wither in the frosts. The Red Cross is a part of us—it has come to stay—and like the sturdy oak, its spreading branches shall yet encompass and shelter the relief of the nation.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
