Description: Republican mural, Westland St., Derry, 1983. Graffiti refers to controversy over name of the city - Londonderry, the name given by the pro-British colonists in the 17th century, and Derry, the name used by nationalists and Republicans. The name of the local government district covering the city was changed from Londonderry to Derry in 1984 but the name of the city was ratified as Londonderry in the British High Court in 2007. Posters above from 1983 British General Election showing Social Democratic and Labour Party MP John Hume (rival political party to Sinn Féin); poster refers to SDLP's position on name change.
