Children in Crossfire founder Richard Moore today unveiled a braille plaque at Free Derry Corner in the city’s Bogside.
Mr Moore was left blinded after he was hit by rubber bullet in 1972 at the age of 10 when it was fired by a British soldier.
Mr Moore told BBC Radio Foyle that the braille translation of “You Are Now Entering Free Derry”, was part of the “wall for all” campaign.
Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle on Tuesday, Mr Moore said the plaque was about “raising awareness around issues relating to disabled people”.
“I am there as a blind person representing many disabled people who feel socially excluded,” he said.
The braille translation is part of events to mark the 51st anniversary of Bloody Sunday next week.
Thirteen people were shot dead when British paratroopers fire on marchers with live bullets during a civil rights march in Derry on January 30, 1972.
Mr Moore said he was very honoured to be a part of Bloody Sunday commemoration events.
Charles Inness and Richard Moore have maintained a friendship since first meeting in 2007.
In 2007, Mr Moore met Charles Inness, the soldier who fired the rubber bullet, and they have remained friends ever since.
Through his charity work, Mr Moore has also struck up friendships with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who is now a patron of Children In Crossfire, and Absolutely Fabulous actress Joanna Lumley.
