Subject: [MAYO] Easter Week Series #1
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 14:09:07 -0700


Easter Week holds a special meaning to the Irish people. It was from the
steps of the GPO (General Post Office) in Dublin that Padraig Pearce
proclaimed the Irish Republic on Easter Monday 1916. A couple of years ago
Ellen Naliboff and I did an Easter Week series telling about the lives of
those brave men who were executed after the Easter Rising in 1916. During
Easter Week we again are focusing attention on those who were involved in
the struggle for Irish Independence. This Easter Week series is dedicated
to all the heroes who gave so much of themselves so their country would be
free.
