DESCRIPTION:

President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed the first Captive Nations Week in 1959. It affirmed America's support of individual liberties, an idea absent under communism, apartheid, and colonialism.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, coupled with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, initiated new democracies. Many became steadfast allies of the United States and critical contributors to the expansion of human rights worldwide.

With each generation, people have breathed new life into democratic ideals, striving for personal freedom, political and economic reform, and justice. This week is about recognizing the millions of people worldwide who continue to fight for their rights and suffer under oppression, occupation, and captivity. Today, nations seeking freedom range from Palestine, Kashmire, and Mayanmar to Ukraine and North Korea.
