Caption

Issued by the Fermanagh Civil Rights Association. It highlights the infringements of Nationalist rights in County Fermanagh at the beginning of 'The Troubles’. A polemic pamphlet, it outlines the protest campaign and statistics to anti-Catholic discrimination in employment, housing, electoral procedures and policing. The Civil Rights campaign and the hostile reaction to it, was seen to be a precursor to a more violent period in Northern Ireland’s history.
