THE FREE DERRY STORY
The civil rights movement in Ireland has its deepest roots in Derry. It was here on 5 October 1968 that the issue of civil rights in the north first came to the attention of the world when the police attacked a peaceful demonstration in Duke Street. It was here that the first no go area was declared in January 1969, when the defiant slogan ‘You Are Now Entering Free Derry’ appeared on a gable wall in the Bogside.
It was here on 30 January 1972, Bloody Sunday, that 14 unarmed demonstrators were killed and 17 others injured by the British Army on the streets of the Bogside.
By boldly taking on the might of the state, an oppressed people were demanding a different world where justice, equality and freedom were the entitlement of all. In the Museum of Free Derry rests part of their legacy. Their epitaph is the continuing struggle for democracy. The museum is dedicated to all who have struggled and suffered for civil rights everywhere, and who will do so in the future.
