A chunk of the Berlin Wall at the Reagan Library gets a face-lift

The World

For nearly 30 years, the Berlin Wall separated West Berlin from East Germany. Thousands tried to escape over the concrete barrier. When it finally fell, portions covered by graffiti and symbols of freedom were rescued from destruction. One section is housed at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. KCLU’s Caroline Feraday went to Simi Valley, California, to meet the restoration experts reviving its fading colors.
