First Civil Rights March from Coalisland to Dungannon
On 24 August 1968 the Campaign for Social Justice (CSJ) and the NICRA (Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association) and several other groups held the first Civil Rights March from Coalisland to Dungannon, county Tyrone. Since the Government of Ireland Act 1920 Catholics in Northern Ireland had no rights. Northern Ireland was ruled by Unionist leaders. The Campaign for Social Justice was formed on 17 January 1964 in Dungannon. It's purpose was to bring light of publicity on the discrimination againts Catholics.
The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) was an organisation which campaigned for civil rights for the Roman Catholic minority in Northern Ireland.
The Unionist Government on hearing of plans for the march issued restrictions which prevented the demonstators from entering Market Square in the centre of Dungannon. The reason was to prevent a clash with loyalists who had organised a counter-demonstration. When the civil rights demonstators arrive Dungannon, Gary Lennon served a notice from the RUC not to enter the Market Square.
The meeting was eventually held in Thomas Street while police separated both groups of demonstrators.
The publicity surrounding the march encouraged other protesting groups to form branches of NICRA.

The RUC
Op 24 augustus 1968 houden de Campaign for Social Justice (CSJ) en de NICRA (Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association) en verschillende andere groepen de eerste burgerrechten mars van Coalisland naar Dungannon, county Tyrone. Sinds de Government of Ireland Act 1920 hebben Katholieken in Noord-Ierland geen rechten. Noord-Ierland wordt geregeerd door Unionistische leiders. De Campaign for Social Justice wordt opgericht op 17 januari 1964 in Dungannon. Het doel is om aandacht te krijgen voor discriminatie tegen Katholieken. De NICRA is een organisatie die campagne voert voor burgerrechten voor de Katholieke minderheid in Noord-Ierland.
De Unionistische regering, die van de plannen van de mars hoort, legt beperkingen op die de demonstranten moet tegenhouden Market Square in het centrum van Dungannon, te betreden. De reden is om een botsing te voorkomen met de Loyalisten die een tegendemonstratie hebben georganiseerd. Wanneer de demonstranten aankomen in Dungannon krijgt Gary Lennon een aankondiging van de RUC om niet het marktplein te betreden. De samenkomst wordt uiteindelijk in Thomas Street gehouden terwijl de politie beide groepen demonstranten gescheiden houdt. De publiciteit rond de mars moedigt andere groepen aan ook partijen van de NICRA te formeren.
