Lech Walesa Uses His Fist to Make a Forceful Point

Lech Walesa, former Polish president and founder of the Solidarity trade union, gestures as he speaks during a multimedia performance directed by Robert Wilson titled Solidarity. Freedom is the Name of Your Angel! at Gdansk Shipyard August 31, 2010. The event is part of 30th anniversary celebrations commemorating the signing of the Gdansk Agreement on August 31, 1980, an accord reached after a series of labour strikes by shipyard workers in Poland which gave the Solidarity trade union the unprecedented right in communist Europe to strike and organise itself as an independent union.
