One year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, President Ronald Reagan dedicated Breakthrough, a structure sculpted from eight sections of the Berlin Wall, as the centerpiece of the Westminster College Cold War Memorial.Â
Although President Ronald Reagan did not actually use the phrase "evil empire" in this June 8, 1982 speech, he described the collapse of global communism as inevitable.
