This month’s Witness History comes from the Royal Academy in London, with Razia Iqbal. As part of the BBC’s Crossing Divides season, we hear two perspectives on the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. We speak to one of the Iranian students who held 52 Americans hostage in the US embassy in Tehran, and to a member of a US humanitarian delegation sent to Iran to try and resolve the crisis. Plus, the peaceful demonstrations that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fight online against the Islamic State group in Mosul, and the dancers who created the first black classical ballet company.
