"You Are Now Entering Free Derry" Iconic Graffiti Tote Bag

The phrase "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" is far more than slang; it is an internationally recognized political slogan and a defining piece of Derry's history.

• Origin and Meaning: The words were first painted on a gable wall in the Bogside area of Derry in January 1969. They were a direct act of defiance and protest by the local Irish nationalist/Catholic community against systemic discrimination, sectarian policing, and the marginalization they faced under the then-Unionist government of Northern Ireland.

• Symbolism: The slogan marked the boundary of "Free Derry," an autonomous, self-declared area that resisted the authority of the police and the state security forces during the early years of The Troubles (1969–1972). The wall where the slogan is painted (known as Free Derry Corner) stands today as an enduring symbol of resistance, civil rights, and community resilience.

• The Graffiti: The image you have, including the hypothetical "2025" date, updates this historic symbol, reimagining it with bold, contemporary street-art aesthetics to celebrate the spirit of resistance and the continued fight for equality.
