But too many were silent then. We are not silent today." One can also not help but marvel at the dedication and spirit of these demonstrators. most of them young. who rallied to the cause of their own history timed to coincide with the summit meeting of Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. the demonstration riveted world attention on the Soviet Unions total disregard in the past of the rights of individuals to worship. to be with their spouses. to emigrate. to be spiritually free people within the rational bounds of their own government.
