Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association

The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association was founded, with an eye to the long-standing discrimination exercised by Northern Ireland Unionists against Roman Catholics (and to the gains won by the US Civil Rights movement).

Members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary in Londonderry viciously attacked members of a march organised by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association .

The Good Friday Agreement, a peace agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and that of Northern Ireland itself, was signed, following complex and lengthy multiparty negotiations.
