About this person
He is best remembered as the figure who steered the republican movement away from physical-force nationalism and toward socialist political agitation during the 1960s, recruiting a new generation of activists to a range of social and economic campaigns and drawing the movement into engagement with the Northern Ireland civil rights movement.
