This article discusses the three marches organized by the Connolly Association in England in 1961-2. The marches aimed to promote the ideals of James Connolly and campaign for a united and independent Ireland. The first march, from London to Birmingham, attracted a supportive response despite efforts to work up prejudice against the marchers. The second march, from Liverpool to Nottingham, also received enthusiastic support, especially in Lancashire. The marches received press coverage and highlighted issues such as the Special Powers Act and discrimination against Catholics. The Connolly Association sought to bring about change and gain support for civil rights in Northern Ireland through these marches and the publication of their findings. The marches were seen as an important precursor to the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland. [Extracted from the article] |
