President Reagan at Brandenburg Gate
West Berlin, Germany
June 12, 1987

The speech was delivered to the people of West Berlin, yet it was also audible on the East side of the Berlin wall.

. . . . General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! . . . .

The Wall was finally breached by jubilant Berliners on November 9, 1989, unifying a city that had been divided for more than 30 years.
