THE partner of murdered journalist Lyra McKee has called on people to become “history makers” to bring about a more reconciled society.
Sara Canning was speaking during the latest discussion organised by the John and Pat Hume Foundation.
Lyra McKee was shot dead by a dissident republican gunman during rioting in Derry’s Creggan area in April 2019.
A member of the foundation’s board, Ms Canning chaired a discussion yesterday on “A Shared Home, the Unfinished Business of Reconciliation”.
Former US president Bill Clinton has said one of his greatest honours in life has been his role in creating peace in Northern Ireland in a new video.
Mr Clinton marked 25 years since a visit to Londonderry in a video message to the people in the city, in which he also said Peace Laureate John Hume, who passed away in August, will be looking down on them.
The uplifting video is the latest in a number organised by the Rath Mor Centre in Creggan to boost the morale of the people of Derry who are not able to enjoy their usual Christmas celebrations.
