Statement on the death of 
Stephen Walker


John Hume Jnr, son of John Hume and Chair of the John and Pat Hume Foundation said;
“The Hume family and the John and Pat Hume Foundation wish to express our deepest sympathies to the family of Stephen Walker.

Stephen was a courageous, professional and dedicated journalist who was a witness to a challenging history throughout the Troubles. Despite facing a battle against illness, he wrote a superb biography about Dad and whilst doing so he became a great friend to the family.

Our prayers are with his wife Katrin, his three children and his friends in journalism and beyond.”

"Difference is the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth, and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity." John Hume, Nobel Peace Laureate.

As we look forward to @miriamocal.bsky.social in conversation with Mark Carruthers, on her book 'Life, Work, Everything' as part of Belfast Book Festival at the Crescent Arts Centre, we look back on her piece "Finding a way out of the darkness was Hume's mission" www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Finding a way out of the darkness was Hume's mission
Like all great peacemakers, even through those darkest days, John Hume did not turn his back on peace, he did not give up. He would find a way out of the darkness.
