#OTD in 1998 – Drumcree Conflict | The annual Orange Order march was prevented from marching through the nationalist Garvaghy area of Portadown, Co Armagh.

Security forces and about 10,000 loyalists began a standoff at Drumcree church. During this time, loyalists launched 550 attacks on the security forces and numerous attacks on Catholic civilians. On 12 July, three children were burnt to death in a loyalist petrol bomb attack. This incident brought an end to the standoff.

St Patricks Day

In front of our house, the starry plough flag of James Connolly flies proudly today. Connolly was a Irish Socialist and Republican who was executed as one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. We celebrate he, Patrick Pearse, and all of the women and men who carried the banner of revolution. And we celebrate those who ran from Crown rule in Ireland, and made new lives in towns like Saskatoon, Boston, Butte, Durango, and carried their Irishness to the far corners of the earth.

For my family, it's also a day to remember people like my uncle Bill(Butte Irish), a hard drinking union tough who would would weep at hearing Liam Clancy sing but get 'animated' talking about Ian Paisley and marching season on garvaghy road in Northern Ireland. And amongst all the people I remember today, my grandmother Glenna is particularly on my mind. She impressed on me at a young age that, "even your college educated Irish family were greeted with signs that said 'workers wanted, Irish need not apply'- its our job to welcome the opressed, to show them kindness, and help them build new lives'

How sadly so many people of Irish heritage in America have forgotten those lessons, and have picked up the mantle of the hatred of immigrants, when they too were hated not so many years ago.

In mass this morning, our priest gave what was probably his last sermon thanks to pancreatic cancer. He's a wonderfully feisty man who speaks a few languages and sings the communion prayer, something which... yeah, even with his shaky voice, is moving... anyhow, his sermon was about the seeing the divine and being the hands of the divine in our communities by taking care of the sick, the poor, the oppressed, and being servants. From an old school Episcopal priest, it's always good to hear the same message as I got from those who raised me, and a great message of renewal in the times where you'd think all religious folks were the angry immigrant hating crowd.

Anyhow, it's late, but never give up hope. Like the motto says, Tiocfaidh ár lá! (Our day will come).

Here's a song for those I've lost and loved I remember this day. Thanks for reading, and much love to you!

"Rubber Bullet. I'm a photographer and was covering the Orange marches on The Garvaghy Road, Ormeau Road and Derry. This rubber bullet hit me on the leg during riots in Derry in 1996. It was fired by the RUC into the road, I saw it whizzing up the road at me, It dropped me to the ground even though it was shot from a sizeable distance away."
