Czech students took to the streets Tuesday, just as they did two decades ago when their historic march ushered in the fall of communist rule.The commemorative parade followed the route students took in 1989 when they were blocked by police from entering Wenceslas Square in the heart of the capital, Prague. The student clashes with police triggered a series of events that ultimately rid then-Czechoslovakia of totalitarianism.
Tuesday's parades were part of the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, named so for being largely peaceful and soft like the plush material.
