Mayo native Michael Davitt has been called 'the champion of the suppressed'. He campaigned on behalf of Aboriginees in Australia, miners in Colorado and of course, fought for tenants rights home in Ireland.
In our first episode of 'In the Wild Wesht' - the Mayo News History Podcast, we explore the life of Michael Davitt. His work is still important today.
We visited the Michael Davitt Museum in his native village, Straide, and talk to the museum's curator Deirdre McGuirk and tour guide Mark Spragg.
What has Michael Davitt in common with the famous Indian independence advocate Mahatma Gandhi? Listen to the episode and find out!
