In June 1987, President Ronald Reagan gave a speech in West Berlin, calling for Mikhail Gorbachev, leader of the Soviet Union, to tear down the wall dividing East and West Berlin. Reagan's public speech was sincere and empathetic. He spoke of hope and freedom, and had a strong connection with his audience. Throughout his speech he truly showed the East his genuine concern for wanting to help them. His use of German phrases made it possible for people to empathize with him and feel his sense of care and delicacy. Reagan keeps his speech optimistic and hopeful. His goal that he continues to bring up is freeing the people of Berlin, and the advance of human liberty.
