A Working-Class Boy From A Ghetto

“I was only a working-class boy from a [nationalist] ghetto, but it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom.” This is a widely-quoted line from Bobby Sands, from an article in Republican News, 16 December, 1978 (page 7 pdf).

The mosaic has been in place since 2012; the quote was perhaps added for the launch of the Bobby Sands statue.
