Many people don't realize that #Charlestown's Mary Murphy O'Reilly (1851-1897), wife of #poet John Boyle O'Reilly, was a gifted children's story writer + longtime columnist in @TheBostonPilot. #WomensHistoryMonth #BostonIrish #BostonIrishwomen

June 17th is #BunkerHillDay in #Boston, a fight in 1775 between British soldiers & American colonists, including #Irish & #Scottish indentured servants, English descendants #AfricanAmericans + #NativeAmericans, a melting pot of what America would become. https://t.co/agWYuOPdUj

On March 28, 1847, the USS Jamestown sailed from Charlestown Navy Yard to Ireland, with 800 tons of supplies to help the victims of the Irish Famine. @IrishEcho @ForbesHouse @YourIslandPark @USNavy @EdforBoston

This photo says it all: don't mess with Mary. Read about #charlestown's Mary Boyle O'Reilly, social reformer, intrepid traveler & daring journalist who snuck behind enemy lines in #WorldWarI to get her story. #irishheritagemonth #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/Bgg7lnBCK9

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

[Sean Getchell @SeanG02129]

@mikeday4rep Congrats, Mike!

@RadioFreeTom @HarvardExt Great class! Was fortunate enough to take the course last spring. Have to admit, had to do a bunch of googling in relation to the Star Trek material. Never thought I would be researching what the hell a Klingon was. Ha. Star Trek writing - definitely political.

We can’t allow the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland to become a casualty of Brexit.

Any trade deal between the U.S. and U.K. must be contingent upon respect for the Agreement and preventing the return of a hard border. Period.
