The Good Friday Agreement was honored and discussed Monday evening at a gathering in Cooper Union.
The Manhattan college's Great Hall, where Abraham Lincoln once spoke, was the setting for "Reflections on The Good Friday Agreement, Twenty Five Years of Peace & Progress.'
The grand gathering was headlined by three leading figures from those Belfast spring days in 1998 when the GFA came into being, Senator George Mitchell, former U.S. president Bill Clinton, and former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams.
All spoke on an evening of reflection and discussion that came just one week before the GFA's precise anniversary, April 10. There will be a full report in this week's edition of the Echo.
