America’s National Churchill Museum and Westminster College salute Mr. Roedy’s tenacious spirit and Churchillian bravery, which served to tear down a wall while pioneering history in a new direction.
Bill Roedy had the audacious idea of bringing MTV to East Germany, helping topple the Wall that divided the country for more than three decades. Like Westminster College, he possesses a generous section of the Berlin Wall. Mr. Roedy’s piece is inscribed with a personal message from former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, which reads, “Music is more powerful than missiles.”
Mr. Roedy:
“When I was reading his [Winston Churchill’s] speech many years ago, I realized that it was really a statement of peace and stability … which I thought was interesting, because the key messages are sometimes buried behind his warning.”

During the Cold War, the Soviets "stole" the MTV signal, and Mr. Roedy responded simply: “Let them.” Let them know harmony, let them know freedom, let them know peace. He knew that allowing access to a world outside their own would help end the Cold War. And it did.
Please join us in honoring Mr. Roedy with an investment in the future of our history. Please consider making a gift in honor of Mr. Roedy to America’s National Churchill Museum today.
“Music is more powerful than missiles.”
