Dear Fellow FlatSigned VIP Members And Friends,

"Tear down this wall"

Ronald Reagan
June 12, 1987

On this day twenty years ago, President Ronald Reagan spoke to a crowd in front of the Berlin Wall and recited these famous words calling for an end to the Cold War and reaching out to the man who could help him do it! In the recent history of our globe, no other leaders have brought about more peace than United States President Ronald Reagan and President Mikhail Gorbachev when they formed their bond of friendship that brought a close to the Cold War. Citizens, fans and collectors have turned autographed photographs and books by these two men into some of the hottest and most desired in the world.

FlatSigned Tip:
When collecting, you should try to think 'Long Term'. When we buy, we ask ourselves what or who will be popular, known and/or studied in 50 years. Will people be reading Harry Potter books? Will students be studying the change brought about by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev? We suggest that this be one of your factors when investing in rare or signed treasures.

"Tear Down This Wall!" - Ronald Reagan's Challenge To Mikhail Gorbachev
 

Reagan Berlin Wall

On this day 20 years ago, President Ronald Reagan delivered one of his most famous and important speeches. "Tear down this wall" was the challenge from Reagan to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to destroy the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the repressive Communist era in a divided Germany. After WWII, Germany was divided into four sections, controlled by the US, the British, French, and Soviets, and was eventually split into two seperate countries, West and East Germany. West Germany developed into a capitalist country which experienced a prolonged economic growth. East Germany came under an authorative Soviet rule and in 1952, the borders between the countries was closed and East Germans were prosecuted if they left the country without permission. In 1961, the wall was erected by the East German government to prevent its citizens from escaping to the west, further repressing the people and increasing their desire to reach the west. With the wall as a backdrop, President Reagan declared to a West Berlin crowd in 1987, "There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace." He then called upon his Soviet counterpart: "Secretary General 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." Reagan then went on to ask Gorbachev to undertake serious arms reduction talks with the United States.

Most listeners at the time viewed Reagan's speech as a dramatic appeal to Gorbachev to renew negotiations on nuclear arms reductions. It was also a reminder that despite the Soviet leader's public statements about a new relationship with the West, the U.S. wanted to see action taken to lessen Cold War tensions. Happily for Berliners, though, the speech also foreshadowed events to come: Two years later, on November 9, 1989, joyful East and West Germans did break down the infamous barrier between East and West Berlin. Germany was officially reunited on October 3, 1990.
