In 1989, when he was 36 years old, on November 9th, the Berlin Wall fell. The Wall was built by the East Germans to keep East Berliners from escaping into West Berlin, separating families and friends.

People brought tools and took parts of the hated wall.
In 1992, when he was 39 years old, on April 29th, riots began in Los Angeles after the "Rodney King" verdict was issued.
