“… only five feet but, for energy and commitment, taller than the entire Harlem Globetrotters. Her skills, excellent judgment, wit and perception would keep us going – and on the right track – over five demanding weeks in strange places and situations.”

— Ian Johnstone, on working with Allison Webber in apartheid-era South Africa, in his book Stand and Deliver, page 105
