Poland Remembering 1989
A poster of Lech Walesa, hero of the pro-democracy movement that toppled communism in Poland, seen, over the shipyards in the Polish Baltic seaport of Gdansk where Walesa founded Solidarity, in Gdansk, Poland, Tuesday June 2, 2009. The poster was hung to coincide with celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the first semi-free elections in the Eastern Bloc, a key step in the collapse of communism. The poster says "High Noon," a reference to a slogan at the time, in reference to Solidarity's struggle with the regime, and "20th anniversary of the fall of communism."
