A Passage to Freedom

"Self-government is our right, a thing born in us at birth; a thing no more to be doled out to us or withheld from us by another people than the right to life itself."

Roger Casement
   Freedom fighter, revolutionary, abolitionist, poet



Knighted for his services to the colonial peoples within the British Empire.

Stripped of that knighthood and executed for High Treason by the British government for his participation in the Easter Rebellion, 1916.
