ON THIS DAY: 11TH MARCH 1858 - Birth of Thomas Clarke, leader in the 1916 Rising
Thomas Clarke was born in Hampshire in the UK to Irish parents.They moved back to Dungannon when Thomas was 7 years old and the family spent the rest of his youth there.
When he was 20, he joined the IRB and quickly rose to prominence, becoming head of the local IRB circle. He was captured after a bombing campaign in the UK and spent the next 15 years doing hard labour in English jails. When he was finally released in 1898, he moved to the USA and married Kathleen, niece of the Fenian John Daly, who had previously persuaded him to join the IRB. They remained in New York, running a farm, until 1907 and then they returned to Ireland and opened a tobacconist shop. Their most prominent shop was on the corner of O'Connell Street and Parnell Street and became a prime meeting place for every prominent Fenian leader of the coming revolution.
He was instrumental in planning the rising, reforming the IRB and cultivating its young leade

ON THIS DAY: 12th MARCH 1930: Mohandas Gandhi begins 300km march protesting British salt tax
Britain's Salt Act of 1882 prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple in their diet. Indian citizens were forced to buy the vital mineral from their British rulers, who, in addition to exercising a monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt, also charged a heavy salt tax. Though it affected everyone, it affected India's poor the most.
The Salt March, which took place from March to April 1930 in India, was an act of civil disobedience led by Mohandas Gandhi to protest British rule in India. During the march, thousands of Indians followed Gandhi from his religious retreat near Ahmedabad to the Arabian Sea coast, a distance of some 240 miles.
There, Gandhi and his supporters were to defy British policy by making salt from seawater. Along the route Gandhi addressed large crowds with many joining the march.
