History

• Thursday 20 June 1968 - The Caledon Protest:

Austin Currie, then Nationalist Member of Parliament (MP) at Stormont, and a number of other people, began a protest about discrimination in the allocation of housing by 'squatting' (illegally occupying) in a house in Caledon. The house had been allocated by Dungannon Rural District Council to a 19 year-old unmarried Protestant woman, Emily Beattie, who was the secretary of a local Unionist politician. Emily Beattie was given the house ahead of older married Catholic families with children. The protesters were evicted by officers of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). The next day the annual conference of the Nationalist Party unanimously approved of the protest action by Austin Currie in Caledon. This was one of the catalysts of the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland. Caledon is most famous in recent times for the 2004 murder of Killylea man Noel Williamson and for the spate of attempted murders in February 2007 in which five men were stabbed. is the 171st day of the year (172nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
