Lecture by Lech Walesa, the first democratically elected president of Poland and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

From electrician to labor leader to the first democratically elected president of Poland, Lech Walesa's life has changed the world. When he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, he was praised by leaders worldwide, including Ronald Reagan, who said, "It's a victory for those who seek to enlarge the human spirit over those who seek to crush it."
