Thank you for commemorating the horror of Bloody Sunday.. its impact is so very current today, especially with Brexit having gone forward with utter disrespect and disregard for history and the vital importance of the Good Friday agreement.... nytimes.com/2022/01/29/world…

I’m daring to hope that we're really in a window of time when we can face our history to transform our future. It’s the first time in my life and in decades of work that the mainstream news and society is in conversation about our history, legacy & systemic racism #facehistory
