From the marches on the Pettus Bridge in Selma to the protests in Derry streets and the march from Belfast to Derry, activists confronted state violence with courage to fight for voting rights and other basic human rights. Together, we will explore how lessons from these movements crossed borders and oceans in ‘Good Trouble’. A movement that still inspires generations in both countries today.  This webinar is free, but you must register to receive the Zoom link. 

Through oral history based on numerous interviews, award-winning author Forest Issac Jones, Ed.D. shows in his groundbreaking new book, Good Trouble: The Selma, Alabama and Derry, Northern Ireland Connection 1963- 1972, the strong connection between the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Catholic Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland – specifically the influence of the Montgomery to Selma march on the 1969 Belfast to Derry march.
