Students flocked to the exhibition which traced the history of the pogroms in the Clonard area of Belfast. In particular it focused on the burning of Bombay Street in August 1969, the aftermath and lasting legacy of this genocidal act by loyalist paramilitaries assisted by the British State.
Speaking on the successful exhibition, James Sheridan cumann spokesperson Caolan Quinn said,
“As part of our ongoing campaign to promote Irish history and educate the student body on significant events in our recent past we brought in the Bombay Street exhibition. We where surprised at the high level of interest in this excellent archive of information, photographs and artefacts, and due to this will be hosting further exhibitions on the Hunger strike and Anti – Collusion.”
