PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - NOVEMBER 17: Singer Joan Baez performs during a commemorative concert on the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution in 1989 on November 17, 2009, at the National avenue in Prague, Czech Republic. The concert succeeded a march by people who followed the same route taken by student demonstrators in 1989 until a violent intervention by riot police in what was then communist Czechoslovakia. The event sparked a series of much larger protests and strikes that ended with the relinquishment of power by the communist authorities in December, 1989, paving the way for the democratic election of a post-communist government under the leadership of then President Havel.
