| Anthony Coughlan is again interviewed by journalist Owen Bennett discussing the work of the Connolly Association, Britain, from its foundation in 1938 until the 1970s. The personalities who were active in the Association are considered - in particular the labour historian and left-wing activist C. Desmond Greaves (1913-1988). The Connolly Association’s work initiated the drive for civil rights in Northern Ireland, culminating in Greaves’s formulation of the demand for a Bill of Rights as the way to prevent discrimination there and open a peaceful way to Irish national reunification. This prefigured some features of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. |
