This Ardoyne mural connects the Holy Cross blockade (WP | Scannal RTÉ) to desegregation in the U.S.A. in the wake of Brown v. Board Of Education (WP).
The left panel is a rendition of an iconic image of Hazel Bryan hectoring Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock Nine (WP), in Little Rock, Arkansas.
In the central panel, red sweaters on b&w background might be a reference to Schindler’s List.
The right panel is a reproduction of a photograph of the terrified Eirinn Flood on her way to Holy Cross (Belfast Media).
This mural was later (2009) imitated on the International Wall, Divis Street.
Estoril Park, Ardoyne, north Belfast
