Lech Wałęsa and SolidarityAn inspiration for fellow workers at the Lenin Shipyards in the dramatic and successful strike against the Communist bosses in August 1980, Wałęsa played a key role in Solidarity before and after it was outlawed. Speaking here to old comrades at the Lenin Shipyards after Solidarity was again legalized in 1988, Wałęsa personified an enduring opposition to Communist rule in eastern Europe.
