The 20th anniversary of the "Baltic Way" is being celebrated, a 1989 event that signaled Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia's deep desire to exit the Soviet Union.
On Aug. 23, 1989, more than two million people joined hands along 375 miles of a highway linking the Baltic capitals of Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn.
Within a year and a half, all three countries had declared their independence.
