"Tear Down This Wall"
In 1961, the Berlin wall was a symbol for communism. It divided West Berlin from East Berlin. ON June 12th, 1987 President Ronald Reagan led a speech and challenged Mikhail Gorbechev to "tear down this wall". This challenge resounded world-wide. Tearing down the wall resemembled Gorbechevs desire for increasing freedom in the East Bloc. These four words are to be know as Reagans most famous. These showed the United State's fight against communism still remained and that it was time to end. In 1989, the wall was finally tore down.
