24 August, 1968 Irish News Support call for mammoth Dungannon civil rights protest Leader: All liberal-minded people should attend the Coalisland-Dungannon march, says the CRA. McAnerney claims that 'any doubts about the absolute necessity for such a gesture have been dispelled by the arrogance of the Unionists' reply to the Labour Lawyers. After the fair words and the promises of reform, the true voice of unrepentant and unchanging bigotry is heard once more.' Fitt says that the march will let ordinary people express their views, while Currie points to the benefits of 'discipline, order and decorum' on the protest. The RUC has announced the re-routing of the march.
