KUSI Contributor Mark Larson on the 30th anniversary of Berlin wall falling

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – On November 9, 1989, the Berlin wall was demolished after former President Ronald Reagan famously declared, “If you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

Saturday marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In-studio with more on the incredible impact the tearing down of the Berlin wall had on Europe, and how President Reagan’s speech played a role in it, is KUSI Contributor and AM 760 radio host Mark Larson.
