Forest Isaac Jones is an award-winning author of non-fiction and essays, specializing in the study of Irish History, the US Civil Rights Movement and Northern Ireland. His latest essay, ‘The Civil Rights Connection Between The USA and Northern Ireland' was awarded honorable mention in the category of nonfiction essay by Writer's Digest in their 93rd annual writing competition. In this interview, he discusses his new book Good Trouble: The Selma, Alabama and Derry, Northern Ireland Connection 1963-1972 (First Hill Books, 2025). Good Trouble investigates the strong connection between the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Catholic Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland – specifically the influence of the Montgomery to Selma march on the 1969 Belfast to Derry march through oral history, based on numerous interviews of events leading up to both marches and afterwards. This is close to the author's heart as both of his parents marched to integrate lunch counters and movie theatres in Salisbury, North Carolina, in 1963 as college students. His mother was at the 1963 March to Washington where Martin Luther King gave his ‘I Have a Dream' speech. Jones travelled to Dublin, Belfast and Derry to conduct interviews for the book. In all, he did fifteen interviews with people who were involved in the movement in Northern Ireland (including Billy McVeigh – featured in the BAFTA winning documentary, Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland) and in the United States (including Richard Smiley and Dr. Sheyann Webb-Christburg – both were at Bloody Sunday in Alabama and on the Selma to Montgomery march among others). Jones was also able to talk with Eamonn McCann, who took part in the Belfast to Derry march in 1969. Unlike most books on Northern Ireland, this goes into detail about the connection and the influence between the two movements. Also, most focus on Bloody Sunday and not the pivotal incidents at Burntollet Bridge and the Battle of the Bogside. Building off of unprecedented access and interviews with participants in both movements, Jones crafts a gripping and moving account of these pivotal years for both countries.

Martin McGuinness's resignation as Deputy First Minister will almost certainly mean elections in Northern Ireland, and many are questioning whether power sharing can be restored after this breach in the DUP Sinn Féin relationship. But would that be a bad thing? Mick Fealty of NI politics blog Slugger O'Toole says the breakdown is the inevitable result of greater scrutiny of the Executive, while MLA for Folye Eamonn McCann says the assumption that power sharing is required to keep violence from breaking out is false. They talk with Hugh and Political Editor Pat Leahy.

Marxism Conference 2015 concluded recently in Melbourne. Among a range of prominent international and local speakers, the two that stood out the most were Emory Douglas, the former Minister for Culture of the Black Panther Party, and Eamonn McCann, a long-time Irish socialist and civil rights campaigner. The show's topic focused on the experience of the two activists and the assessment of today's situation with regards to the struggle against austerity and racism. 

Are there any left leaning media outlets left in Ireland? We're joined by Eamonn McCann columnist with the Irish Times and the editor in chief of the Mail in Ireland, Sebastian Hamilton to discuss this.

Miriam O'Callaghan interviews award winning journalists and friends, Sam Smyth and Eamonn McCann

Jag sa åt Michael att vara försiktig. Det var sista gången jag såg honom i livet. John Kelly, storebror. En söndag i januari 1972 sköt brittiska fallskärmsjägare ihjäl 13 människor under en fredlig demonstration i Nordirland. Yngst bland de döda var Michael Kelly, som just fyllt 17. Varför sköt soldaterna in i folkmassan? Sommaren 2010, efter närmare 40 år av sorg och ilska, kommer sanningen om Bloody Sunday fram. I Thella Johnsons dokumentär ”Sunday Bloody Sunday” möter vi bland andra Michaels storebror John, som vigt sitt liv åt att kämpa för upprättelse för sin lillebror och de andra som dödades. Medverkar gör också medborgarrättskämpen Eamonn McCann och den tidigare IRA-medlemmen Gerry McCartney. De var alla där den januarisöndagen, och de vägrar glömma. Producent: Thella Johnson Sändes första gången: 25 juli 2010 Om producenten Thella Johnson: Thella Johnson, 30, är producent på Sveriges Radio.
