University of Northern Colorado Political Sciences faculty will participate in a panel discussion on Nov. 9 to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The presentation, open to the public free of charge, begins at 4 p.m. in Spruce A and B of the University Center, intersection of 10th Avenue and 20th Street. Refreshments will be provided.
Stefan Heumann, Steve Mazurana and Christiane Olivo -- who last summer conducted a grant-funded seminar for K-12 teachers in Berlin to study the movement that led to the fall -- will address the chain of events leading to communism’s fate and the differences that exist today between East and West Germany.
The presentation will include photos and video.
