Public to Design, Build "Wall of Change" to Mark Berlin Wall Anniversary

Posted: Oct 20, 2009

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, students and members of the public are invited to use their conscience, graffiti skills and a cardboard box to build a "wall of change" at The University of Texas at Austin on Monday evening Nov. 9.        The event will honor the revolution that brought down the wall on Berlin on Nov. 9, 1989 and led to a celebration reuniting people from East and West.
