Goddess of Democracy
Freedom Week
Inside the Newseum and visible through the glass above this panel is a bronze reproduction of the original 33-foot-tall plaster Goddess of Democracy, created in May 1989 by Chinese students who led a pro-democracy movement in Beijing's Tianamnmen Square. On June 4, 1989, Chinese armed forces moved in with tanks, killing hundreds of unarmed protesters and destroying the statue.
