Our Webinars 

Remembering Bloody Sunday 50 Years Ago

On January 15th, 2022, our guest speaker Matt Morrison, who was present on that terrible day, shared his memories from that time.

Bloody Sunday is remembered as a tragic day in the history of Ireland. On January 30, 1972, a peaceful Civil Rights March was being held in Derry organized by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association. British Soldiers from the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment shot unarmed civilians and 14 individuals died that day. These victims and their families have never received justice.
