============

Baltijas Ceļš – cilvēku ķēde trīs valstu vienotiem centieniem pēc brīvības

Arī mēs – latvieši Londonā, atzīmējam, atceramies vai uzzinām no jauna visu par Batijas Ceļu!

Sestdien, 22.augustā. no pl.18:00
Izstāde,
TV pārraide,
Latvijas karodziņu izgatavošana savām rokām,
Latviešu mūzika un
Sarunas.

Gribu īpaši lūgt jebkuru, kurš sēlē kādu pārnēsājamu mūzikas instrumentu. (piem ģitāru), kuplināt pasākuma muzikalitāti!:))
Kaut vai, ja tikai vienu latviešu dziesmu vari nospēlēt, nāc un nospēlē to citiem!

Pirms 20 gadiem, 1989. gada 23. augustā, vairāk nekā miljons cilvēku Latvijā, Lietuvā un Igaunijā sadevās rokās, izveidojot 600 km garu ķēdi no Tompea pils pakājes Tallinā līdz Ģedimina torņa pakājei Viļņā, pa ceļam šķērsojot Rīgu un Daugavas upi un radot vienotību trīs valstu centienos pēc brīvības.
Baltijas ceļš bija fenomens, kurš parādīja, kā trīs mazas valstis - Baltijas valstis - neskatoties uz nāciju dažādību, radīja starpkultūru garīgo vienotību kopējā mērķa sasniegšanas vārdā - pārvarēt Otrā pasaules kara sekas un iznīcināt totalitāro režīmu.
Baltijas ceļš ir vēsturisks simbols, kurš dzīvo cilvēces atmiņā, veicinot sapratni par solidaritātes un vārda brīvības nozīmi un vērtībām.
Ģenialitāte esot vienkāršībā, bet ne bieži tā tie radīta, tāpēc ir vērts īpaši izdevušos pasākumus atcerāties un atzīmēt to gadadienas.

This year August 23 will mark the 70th year since the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (MRP) between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. That agreement between Stalin and Hitler doomed half of Europe to decades of misery under foreign tyranny.

On August 23, 1979, the Baltic Appeal was sent by 45 persons from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to demand the MRP’s and its secret protocols' public disclosure and annulment, and the restoration of the independence of the Baltic countries, then occupied by the Soviet Union. This was an important step on the road to back to freedom.

August 23 also marks the 20th anniversary of the Baltic Way, which united the nations of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania against Soviet oppression and occupation. On that day in 1989, over a quarter of the populations of the three Baltic countries joined hands for nearly 400 miles to demonstrate their love of freedom.

On Sunday, August 23, 2009 those events will be remembered in a half day commemoration and celebration in Washington, DC in which the Baltic Way will be recreated.

You are invited to join that day to remember, take part and link hands in the 2009 Baltic Way, and to show solidarity with our friends in Central and Eastern Europe, including those in the country of Georgia, who have suffered a year since the Russian invasion and occupation of their territories.
