Tear Down This Wall: A Reflection on President Reagan's 1987 Berlin Wall Speech

This episode features a Ronald Reagan Institute and the Hoover Institution sponsored discussion celebrating President Reagan’s 1987 Berlin Wall speech, in which he famously called for Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” The panel conversation will reflect on the speech 34 years later and discuss its continuing relevance to the challenges we face today.

The discussion will feature the author of the speech, Peter Robinson, as well as Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, former National Security Advisor, Dr. Will Inboden, Director of the Clements Center for National Security, and Jamie Fly, President and CEO of Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty. All three authored essays for the Reagan Presidential Principles & Beliefs series, which are available here.
