A Presidential Suit:
President Reagan wore this suit when he delivered his famous "Tear Down This Wall" speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
At the Brandenburg Gate:
On June 12, 1987, Ronald Reagan tested the strength of his new relationship with Mikhail Gorbachev. He was impatient with the slow progress of negotiations at the summits. He was particularly furious with what the Berlin Wall symbolized and all the suffering it had caused. Over the objections of some of his staff, he delivered a blistering indictment of totalitarian government and its cost to the human spirit. |
