Location is along the northwest side of Rossville Street, just a bit southeast of William Street. View is to the northwest from southeast side of Rossville Street. This mural is based on two major hunger strikes. The first began 1980-10-27 and ended 1980-12-18. Shown is Raymond McCartney, one of the Republican prisoners in H-Block at Maze Prison. Three women prisoners in Armagh Prison joined the strike 1980-12-01. A second hunger strike occurred in 1981 and resulted in the deaths of ten men, notably Bobby Sands.
