Story Abstract |
"In this account Paul tells the story on behalf of his mother which took place in the mid 1970s. Paul describes how the ‘Troubles’ were beginning to impact on the community he was living in. After a violent incident on the street, a young girl knocks on their door, upset and asking for help. Paul’s mother brings the girl in and rings the police. However, the incident had involved a paramilitary group who proceeded to intimidate the family, resulting in them having to leave their home and relocate. Paul describes the impact of this for him personally and his family." (Up Standing: Educators Guide, p.9) |

Story Abstract |
"In this story, Mary talks about her voluntary work to organise a peace march in Armagh as part of the wider ‘Peace People’ movement in 1976. Mary describes that, as a result of her involvement in organising the event, she received a life threatening letter from a paramilitary organisation. Mary talks about the impact of this event, but her desire to keep going. The subsequent march passed off peacefully and as Mary describes, gave people a time to be together on their streets."
