Check out the website http://www.1916.today to experience
the 1916 Rising as though it were happening right now!
Associate Professor of History Dr. David Kilroy of Nova Southeastern University is
managing a project to commemorate the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising. It is a social media project and goes live on
Sunday April 24.
Kilroy writes that “’Tweet the Rising’ is an innovative project
that uses social media to bring the history of the Ireland’s 1916Easter Rising
to life, providing a unique opportunity for people everywhere to immerse
themselves in the events of that week and ultimately to draw their own conclusions
about what is arguably the most important event in Irish history. Twenty fictional but historically accurate
characters will tell the story of the Rising through Twitter starting on April
24, 2016. The characters can be accessed
at http://www.1916.today or on Twitter using #TweetTheRising or
#1916today."
