Twenty-five years ago, on Nov 9, 1989, the Wall between East and West Berlin was knocked down and the citizens of Berlin were at last allowed to go between East and West Berlin freely after 50 years of Soviet subjugation. The opening of the Berlin wall is one of the most important events in the spread of freedom to the former Soviet Block nations and represents one of the greatest triumphs of the free world over oppression.
Liberty University Young Americans for Freedom celebrated that historic event with the tearing down of a wall. LU YAF built a mock wall to symbolize the Berlin wall and at 4:30pm Eastern Time on Friday, November 14, they knocked it down and destroyed it with sledge hammers in celebration of the opening of the Berlin Wall 25 years ago.
