- Several people are moving to help Amelia Boynton, who was injured in the attack. This image is from a strip of negatives that were taken by Spider Martin (BN0002435) but were mistakenly placed in a sleeve with negatives taken by Tom Lankford (BN0016998). Dr. Richard Burt at Auburn University discovered the error in February 2020 after performing extensive research and comparison of Bloody Sunday negatives from several different repositories.
