Honouring the legacy of John Hume 03 August, 2021 01:00
FEW leaders have had the impact of John Hume.
The late SDLP founder s work in bringing peace to Northern Ireland won him accolades across the world, not least his Nobel prize, jointly awarded with Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble in 1998.
Both men showed strong leadership not just in helping to bring about the Good Friday Agreement but also in encouraging the vast majority of people to support it.
The agreement was the product of decades of often thankless work. In opposing violence, but also remaining open to dialogue with people he disagreed with, Mr Hume laid down the template of how a statesman should behave.
