Twenty-five Foot High Peace Walls

Reposted: Above is an example of eighteen miles of -sometimes twenty-five-foot high – peace walls in Belfast. They lock the peace wall’s gates at night. Gates that separate Catholics and Protestants. In some districts, Catholics and Protestants live across the street from each other. Tension can crop up more often there, than in districts where they live farther apart. Their disagreement is more political in nature and not about religion. Like labels, Catholic and Protestant help identify what political stand they take.
