Saoirse / Freedom
Image: © Gerald England Taken: 14 Sep 2020
This printed tarp on the side of the Falls Road Library Image commemorates the ten 1981 hunger strikers (along with Frank Stagg, Michael Gaughan, Nora Connolly, and Mairead Farrell, paired with international figures Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Leonard Peltier, and Nelson Mandela) and features a poem by Bobby Sands: “All things must come to pass as one So hope should never die There is no height or bloody might That a freeman can’t defy. There is no source or foreign force Can break one man who knows, That his free will no thing can kill And from that freedom grows.”
