Joe Hill was executed by firing squad on November 19th, 1915, at the age of 36, convicted of shooting a father and son in Utah. Before his death, he sent a telegram to Big Bill Haywood, founder-member of the IWW, saying “Don’t waste any time mourning. Organize!” (WP) The centenary of his death was marked by graffiti on Free Derry Corner.
On the back of the wall is an RNU (Fb) board showing a prisoner behind bars, a victim of internment: “End internment and Britain’s torture of Irish POWs”.
On the buttresses are IRPWA flyers: “End controlled movement now!”, “End forced isolation”, “End the brutality of republican prisoners”, “Stop the brutal & degrading strip searches”, “End the brutality in Maghaberry”, “www.irpwa.com‘.

The wave of people seeking asylum from political strife in Europe continues.”Fáılte romhaıbh a chaırde” is Irish for “Welcome, friends” while “Qaxootiga soo Dhaweyn” is Somali for “Refugees welcome”. Somalis make up about 9% of the current wave of migrants from Africa and Syrians 33% (Irish Times). 2,000 refugees are to be settled in Northern Ireland (belfastlive). The yellow-on-black outline of parents and daughter running originates in the United States, used on ‘caution’ signs along highways near the US-Mexico border.
The mural was launched on September 12th.
