  Monday demonstrations in East Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1989/1990 Monday demonstrations (German: Montagsdemonstrationen) in the East German city of Leipzig were a series of peaceful political protests against the East German government.
The demonstrations began after prayers for peace in the Nikolai Church with parson Christian Führer, and filled the nearby downtown Karl Marx Platz.
The demonstrations eventually ended in March 1990, around the time of the multi-party elections that led to German reunification.

The Monday demonstrators with whom the members of the MLPD are working together closely and on the basis of equal rights are feeling that this smear campaign is also directed against them.
They are the organized democratic methods of the Monday demonstration movement, the democratic expression of views and the formation of opinion at the open microphone, the democratic decisions with the participation of all demonstrators and, last but not least, the democratic delegation system for the central coordination of the common struggle.
In the common action the close solidarity of the core of the Monday demonstrators with the comrades from the MLPD is developing as well as an unprecedented openness to the perspective of genuine socialism.

 Monday Demonstrations Attract Fewer Marchers | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 24.08.2004
The fourth week of "Monday demonstrations" against German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's welfare reform measures drew tens of thousands of marchers across the country but figures were down from the previous week.
In what have become regular weekly demonstrations against the German government's labor market and social security reform plans, protestors once again took to the streets in cities across Germany in the latest of the new wave of "Monday demonstrations." However, the expected numbers of demonstrators were well below the estimates of organizers.
The success of Germany's "Monday Demonstrations," are symbolic of the unexpected return of the reformed Communists, who took a drubbing in the last federal elections but are ahead of the chancellor's party in some polls.

She told the demonstrators that those were difficult times, and when in 1968 Dr. King was assassinated, the dream shattered.

The peace prayers led by Father Christian Führer, and the demonstrations, were a crucial factor that made the reunification of Germany possible, and freed the people from the utopian policies of the Cold War.

The second difficulty with demonstrating user testing to an audience is that observing users in action is only part of the process; if people are truly to understand the benefits of user testing, they need to acquire at least a basic understanding of the entire process from start to finish.
The benefit of this demonstration method was that it allowed audience members to gain some familiarity with the user testing process in its entirety without having to invest one, two, or three days in attending workshops or training sessions.
By demonstrating the potential value of user testing to many different types of audiences, we hope to encourage a greater affinity for frequent user testing, and to convince usability educators and evaluators that high–speed demonstration methods like Usability@90mph are worth developing and pursuing.
