FULTON, Mo. -- Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, students at Westminster College paid tribute Monday to the historic day with a replica of the wall.

The college located in Fulton, Mo., is the home of the largest existing whole section of the real Berlin Wall in the United States. The campus also landed in the history books for being the site of Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946.

Monday night, students and staff toppled a replica of the wall during a the college's Freedom Without Walls Celebration.
