The Berlin Wall separated the world of oppression from the world of freedom from 1961 to 1989. It was taken down by the heroic people of East and West Germany on November 10, 1989.
President George H. W. Bush and Secretary of State James A. Baker, III led America's foreign policy during this revolutionary time and during the subsequently successful effort to unify Germany in peace and freedom.
This section of the Berlin Wall represents a monument to freedom and was made available to Rice University by Browning-Ferris Industries at the urging of Dr. Mary McIntire, Dean of the School of Continuing Studies.
