An Urban Tribute to Frederick Douglass

A few years ago, a small mural was painted on a box on Grand Parade, featuring Frederick Douglass. Google Maps shows it was still there in 2024, but I’m not sure about it now.

Frederick Douglass visited Ireland in 1845 and was warmly received, finding a sense of freedom here that contrasted sharply with his experiences in the United States.

I've met today a woman who lived in Direct Provision. I fully understand why the topic is put that far away from the public discourse as possible.

However, I'm all in for actions against this vile system.
