Armed Struggle
Belfast west
Tell The World, Freedom Is At Hand
1987 version of the ANC-IRA mural on Beechmount Avenue, Belfast. Benjamin Moloise’s words on the right and the letters “IRA” below the shield have been painted out (perhaps to repair the paint-bombing visible in the 1986 version Tell The World Freedom Is At Hand) but more paint has been thrown over the mural and “UVF” has been spray-painted on.
