Description
One of the many famous Political Murals from the Bogside area of Derry in Northern Ireland. These Murals tell the political story of the Irish Nationalist / Republican community of the Bogside during the recent period of conflict known locally as the "Troubles". These Murals are a major tourist attraction as well as recounting historic events and individuals. The Murals were painted by local people known as the Bogside Artists and the material was fund raised by or donated by local residents. This particular Mural depicts one of the many Civil Rights marches held in Derry when people in the early 1970s campaigned for one man one vote, houses for all, jobs for all etc. Each of the faces depicted in the mural are real people who were politically active during the Civil Rights era.
