A Missouri college with special ties to the start of the Cold War are commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall today. Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., was the site of Winston Churchill’s Iron Curtain Speech, which historians say marked the start of the Cold War. Westminster also has the largest complete piece of the Berlin Wall in the United States. Westminster students are creating a replica of the wall in the shadow of the actual wall. To commemorate the anniversary, they will tear down the replica wall.
