ISBN: 0-415-91384-5    Maybe if on all the Martin Luther King steets you could remind all the racism rising in  America of the fact the Irish were enslaved- and add the name Daniel O'Connell Street to all those streets so as to remind the USA and world that there was a huge labor injustice against Irish and other Immigrants and that child labor laws were non existent- and the abuse of children as slaves was taking place in the USA up until 1920    http://freemanireland.ning.com/profiles/blogs/inverness-child-labor-cotton-mill-usa-how-the-irish-became-white
