What is recorded here

Donegall Pass still remembers the woman who turned a private house into a public workshop for decency. Mary Ann McCracken lived there from 1770 to 1866, long enough to make Belfast feel both smaller and larger: smaller because she knew its streets, larger because she refused to leave its wounds unnamed. The blue plaque at number 62 is thin, but it points to a whole life of argument, compassion and stubborn clarity.
