I was walking past the mural earlier and honestly it just feels wrong to think of it being hidden away by construction gear even if they say it helps the museum. People keep messaging me saying they feel the same way about the history being buried so I have been trying to get someone from the city council to actually talk to me instead of just sending those automated replies that nobody reads.

I really thought this might just be a small protest of mine but seeing how many people care about the mural is honestly overwhelming and kind of makes my head spin. It brings me back to the first day I started this when I was worried nobody would even read the title because the wall is so much bigger than just a bit of paint even if the history is what matters most.

The mural has been there for years and means so much to the people here. dont let them cover it up.
who planned this? they clearly dont understand the significance of the bogsides history. fix the design.
ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL. Why would anyone want to hide the history of this city? Leave the murals alone.
that mural is part of our history and shouldn't be blocked by some fancy wall. keep the bogside views clear.
The regeneration of the " Museum of Free Derry Civil Rights Archive " is to be welcomed , but the question is , whose idea was it to build a wall and ramp around the Civil Rights Mural to obscure it from public view and whats their Justification for it ?

it makes no sense to build an archive if you have to hide the real stuff to do it. madness.
