Republican mural in Sráıd Na Sceıthe/Hawthorn Street at the junction with Cavendish Street celebrating the lives of Winifred Carney and Nora Connolly. “They stand for the honour of Ireland, As their sisters in days that are gone, And they’ll march with their brothers to freedom, The soldiers of Cumann na mBan.” Below is a 1965 video of Connolly talking about her life (1893-1981 (WP)) and her father James Connolly, who was executed after the 1916 rising. Carney, who grew up and lived in Belfast, was inside the GPO with Connolly. After the rising, she returned to Belfast, married a Protestant, and continued to advocate socialism (WP).

Pallets lined up in preparation for bonfires on the Twelfth (of July) in front of the human rights mural on the green behind Hopewell Crescent. A mural of the event being celebrated – King Billy (William Of Orange) crossing the Boyne river in 1690 – can be seen in the distance on the right. The words on the wall to the right read: “Where after all do universal human rights begin? … In small places close to home, so close & so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world … such are the places that every man, woman & child seek equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity.”
In the image below, more pallets and a couch.
