"Republican: A Legacy of Leadership and Struggle" From the Irish Nationalist Michael Collins to the current President of the United States, Donald John Trump, the term "Republican" carries a rich history and diverse connotations. It encompasses individuals who have shaped nations, fought for independence, and championed their beliefs. In Ireland, Michael Collins stands as an iconic figure in Republicanism. As an Irish Nationalist and Sinn Fein leader, he played a pivotal role in the fight for Irish independence during the early 20th century. His legacy lives on through his founding and directorship of Sinn Fein – a political party that continues to advocate for self-determination. The Republican murals adorning Free Derry Corner in Bogside, Derry serve as powerful reminders of Northern Ireland's troubled past. These vibrant artworks depict scenes from various historical events that symbolize resistance against oppression and injustice. Across time and continents, Republicans have emerged with different causes but shared values. The Easter Rising commemoration in 1932 pays tribute to those who bravely stood up against British rule in Ireland – including figures like Thomas J Clarke, one of the signatories of the Irish Republic proclamation. Even beyond Ireland's shores, Republicans have left indelible marks on history. In America, Abraham Lincoln is revered as the 16th President who led his nation through its darkest hour – guiding it towards abolishing slavery during a tumultuous Civil War era, and are not confined by borders or eras; they transcend time itself. From English poet John Milton to Spanish Civil War militias fighting fascism in 1936 - these individuals exemplify unwavering commitment to their ideals. As we reflect upon these glimpses into Republican history - be it through Roosevelt's conservation efforts or even a Charteuse Advert from 1906 - we witness how this ideology has evolved over centuries while remaining rooted in principles such as liberty and justice for all.
