This is the one where I was going to ask you to find the three indicators of a Catholic, Republican neighborhood (there are actually four, now that I see it!) The picture's kind of too small. On the far left, on the lamp-post is a green, white and orange sign that says "Political Status Now." The mural is memorial for people who were killed by rubber and plastic bullets. The green storefront in the foreground is the location of Relatives for Justice. And, the street sign is in both English and Irish. So there you go.
These are the pictures from the second insert -- they're from the international wall of murals. It really gives you a sense of the solidarity Catholic Republicans feel with other oppressed peoples.
Che is a figure all over the place. This particular mural asks President Obama to normalize relations with Cuba.
There's even a comparison with the American Civil Rights Movement. The situation in Ardoyne in 2001 is often compared with school integrated in Arkansas in 1957.
The Basque Country is one of the most common comparisons.
And, the comparison you've all been waiting for. No further explanation needed.
