American support for Irish liberty is crucial, de Valera tells Chicago convention
TAGS
Chicago, 26 April 1921 – The American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic, which met in Chicago last week, received a message of encouragement from Sinn Féin President Éamon de Valera: ‘Sincerest greetings to you all. Democratic, open, honest, direct – your organisation will not fail.’
De Valera, in a telegram addressed to the chairman of the convention, claimed that the ‘instinct for fair-play alone will not let Americans side with a grasping empire against a people fighting solely for liberty and daily offering up their lives in testimony.’
Chicago public health officials announced changes to the city’s inoculation deployment strategy on Friday, as they deal with the ongoing pause in administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
