Bernadette McAliskey vuole il “Museo della resistenza” a Derry

Former MP calls for a Derry resistance museum

Bernadette McAliskeyA former MP for Mid Ulster has called for a “resistance museum” to be built in Derry, Northern Ireland.

Bernadette McAliskey was at the launch of the After Saville exhibition at the city’s Pilot’s Row Centre, where she made the call for a designated museum to showcase the city’s “culture of resistance and resilience”.

According to the Derry Journal, McAliskey said: “I think that Derry should seriously look into creating a specific museum to house the people’s story through their own memorabilia.

“There are plenty of beautiful buildings in the city that could be converted in the build-up to the City of Culture 2013. We ought to be celebrating the culture of resistance and resilience to injustice that has been such an important part of this community.”

The After Saville exhibition was based on the Saville Report, also known as the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, published in June this year.
