This mural was painted on the 30th anniversary of the 1981 Hunger Strike and put at the centre of the image Francis Hughes, an IRA revolutionary from Bellaghy, Country Londonderry, who followed Bobby Sands on the Hunger Strike.

He died 59 days later, on the 12th May, at the age of 25.

In the mural he is surrounded by IRA fellows and Republicans from previous eras (see the picture of entire mural with the list of the names of all the people represented at http://extramuralactivity.com/2014/01/page/2/)
