It Was Twenty Years Ago Today
No, Sgt. Pepper wasn't giving music lessons. President Ronald Reagan gave his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate. You remember that, right? The one with the infamous (and State Department rejected) "Tear down that wall!"
How was the world changed since Reagan's visit to Berlin? Let's see. The Berlin Wall fell. The Soviet Union is gone. The entire Eastern Bloc is no more. Communism, for all intents and purposes, has been proven as a completely flawed theory. All in no little thanks to President Reagan.
Go, read his speech. Think about how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go.
