Saint Patrick's Day weekend
KEVIN DEVINE & FRIENDS
"St. Patrick's Day 'The Battle of the Bogside' film, August, 1969"

A peaceful march for civil and human rights in Derry, Northern Ireland joins
with a protest against the loyalist "Apprentice Boys" parade which marches
past the nationalist area of the Bogside thereby triggering nationalist
resistance. When the police, Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) attempted to
restore order in the Bogside Area of Derry, the nationalist resistance of
the Bogside prevented them from entering that area of Derry. When entrance
to the Bogside was not possible they called upon the British Army  to
restore control. The Bogside resistance and widespread rebellion in other
parts of the North of Ireland  became known as the "Troubles". Kevin and
Friends discuss these events and their relevance to today.

Kevin Devine is a member of the Community Church of Boston. He is a constant
follower of Irish politics and history and received a B.A. in History in
1971 from Boston University.
