what did reagan say about the berlin wall
Twenty years ago, then US President Ronald Reagan made his historic speech in front of the Berlin Wall. His message for his Soviet counterpart was clear: Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.. Two and a half years after Reagan's speech the wall fell. On June 12, 1987, President Reagan addressed the residents of Berlin with his back to the Berlin Wall. With these few words Reagan redirected his remarks further east toward the Soviet Union and its leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
