	The Militant - 9/2/96 -- Irish Fighters Push Back Loyalists
		The Bogside residents' fight gained a boost from the widespread revulsion to the vicious assaults on Catholic protesters by rightist street gangs with the complicity of British armed forces on July 12.
		The Bogside residents responded by organizing a mass demonstration for the evening of August 9, prior to the Apprentice Boys march the next day, with the goal of entering the city walls.
		The Bogside residents said they'd rather resolve the issue by negotiation with the Apprentice Boys than the intervention of the Army.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Bogside expects little change
		In the city's Catholic Bogside, 'Free Derry' proclaims the famous gable wall which is all that remains of a terrace of houses that stood in 1968 when the current wave of unrest began in Northern Ireland with the civil rights marches.
		It was in the Bogside Inn, a drab dark public house near that continuing symbol of nationalist protest, that yesterday's agreement was being dismissed as meaning precious little to those on the western shore of the Foyle, who regarded themselves as Irish.
		Further into the Bogside are the local offices of Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA whose electoral advances in recent years arguably accelerated the willingness of London and Dublin to recognise the changing situation in Northern Ireland.

	The work of The Bogside Artists
		It was in Derry, on August 13th 1969, that the drive for civil rights lost its control in the aftermath of a confrontation between the civil police force and Catholic protesters during the traditional Apprentice Boys march through the city.
		It was one atrocity among many and for politicians from both sides of the divide it was a crossing of the Rubicon in their quest for peace.
		There are presently 8 murals in all situated along Rossville Street in the heart of The Bogside, the Catholic warren of the city; and the three artists have plans for a further four, the last of which will be a peace mural, a covenant of sorts with the future.

	League Reports - Justice Denied
		From the Creggan Estate area, where the marchers assembled, which is adjacent to the Bogside in a westerly direction, the plan of march was to follow William Street straight to Guild Hall at City Center which is outside the Bogside area and off the map.
		If the marchers had followed the plan they would have passed Rossville Street which is the main street of the Bogside and comes off William Street on the right hand side of the line of the march, and they would have passed Chamberlain Street which runs parallel to Rossville Street.
		At this point in the afternoon the Army had successfully contained the march within the Bogside by the use of the barriers and antiriot equipment, without any resulting injuries either to the rioters or to the soldiers.

	Irish Literature: Brian Friel and the Bogside Artists
		Though "Translations" is a work sympathetic to several facets of the particular plight of the Irish, it could be said that it simultaneously displays some amount of sympathy for the ignorance of the British--the executors, but not necessarily makers of empire--in their manangerial duties.
		The Bogside artists (Michael Kelly, Tom Kelly and Kevin Hasson), in response to the Protestant, Unionist murals that line the walls of the Shankill Road, work specifically in the area of Derry City that was affected by the "Bloody Sunday" massacre of 1972.
		Their translation is one of human experience to a visual vocabulary that one might live with as well as learn from, and to avoid both overt subjectivity and objectivity in presenting historical events as they occurred.

		Battle of the Bogside was shown as part of the West Belfast Festival during August and combines the work of Clive Limpkin a freelance photographer from England and Barney McMonagle from the Brandywell in Derry.
		Images of confrontation can be difficult to assess as so often, like words, taken out of context or their time sequence, the true reasons for the actions are distorted and clouded depending on how the photographer or editor intends the viewer to judge them.

		The Battle of the Bogside was ignited by something long familiar to Derry people: the annual Apprentice Boys march, which took place on Aug. 12 that year.
		Within the Bogside area itself, people gleaned information not just from mainstream media, but also by a local Samizdat that included the “Barricade Bulletin.” Bulletin No. 2, dated Aug. 14, would announce a “great defeat” for the unionist government in far away Belfast.
		But the Battle of the Bogside, the clash that gave birth to “Free Derry” and riveting pictures that were beamed around the world, has to be seen now as an enormously significant turning point.

		The infamous Bogside area, traditionally Catholic, has traditionally been one of the most impoverished in the country, and its citizens marginalized.
		The famous Bogside riots of 1968 occurred when a peaceful civil rights march was baton-charged by the RUC and the B- specials, and this is generally regarded as one of the major contributing events to the modern phase of the Troubles.
		During this "Battle of the Bogside", the Taoiseach of the Republic, Jack Lynch, actually sent the army to the border to set up a field hospital for the bogsiders because they weren't allowed to go to Derry's hospital.

		We all feel that our story, and the history of the conflict — in particular in Derry —; has been told for us by others for far too long, and always inaccurately, and sometimes that is deliberate.

		The Saville Inquiry has heard that claims of a shot being fired at British Army troops before they moved into the Bogside on Bloody Sunday were not supported by military communications records at the time or civilian witness accounts.
		British soldiers have claimed a high velocity bullet shattered a rain water pipe above their heads in the grounds of an old Presbyterian church as they prepared to move into the Bogside, which was at the time a no-go area for the security forces.
		Counsel for the Inquiry Christopher Clarke QC said, despite a substantial amount of military evidence about this high velocity bullet, there remained a serious question as to whether it was fired and if so before or after the shootings of the two men.
