Emerging technologies developed on the battlefront and the rise in trade unions meant that life at home would change forever while a General Election, called in December, would reshape the political landscape of Ireland.

| At The Crossroads: The Campaign for Civil Rights in Northern Ireland Exhibition |
The importance of the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland cannot be overstated. The impact it had on future events makes it one of the most significant aspects of our recent history. The collections at The Linen Hall have a critical role to play in understanding Northern Ireland’s past, and crucial to this is the material held on civil rights. Inspired by the civil rights leaders in the United States and their example of peaceful, non-violent protest, civil rights protesters took to the streets full of ideas, hoping to end prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination in Northern Ireland and to create a fair, just, and non-sectarian society. Driven by community engagement with our unique archives, At the Crossroads: The Campaign for Civil Rights in Northern Ireland charts this ground-breaking movement for social change and trailblazing grassroots activism and asks us to reflect on a truly pivotal moment in our history.
