What is recorded here
Betty Williams is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the walls held breath before they held her, waiting for the girl who would later refuse violence. Maybe a window caught light on May 22, 1943, marking the exact moment peace entered the world through an ordinary door.
Why this person is known: Northern Irish peace activist (1943–2020)
