37 years ago today, on June 4th, 1989,
the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens in and around Beijing's Tianan Square.
What began as student-ledd calls for reform, anti-corruption, and freedom turned into one of the most brutal suppressions in modern history.
Today, the CCP still censors any discussion of the events.

Today, the CCP still censors any discussion of the events.
the events. We take a look at the commemorations, including an exclusive, newly released archive of photographs, shedding light on a chapter of history the CCP has long sought to erase.
But first, listen to what John Mulinar, chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, said to our reporter.
Well, it's important to recognize the victims that occurred in 1989, June 4th, and we are welcoming some speakers who were there u right here at the capital and uh
they're going to tell their stories about that as well as the transnational repression that they've faced here in the United States because of their outspoken uh willingness to speak the truth about what happened on that day.
what happened on that day. For 37 years, the CCP has called the Tianaan Square protests a counterrevolutionary riot.
A longtime hidden archive of more than 2,000 photos taken by an official photographer who was there is now being shared publicly by the Epic Times.
The images honor the victims and shed light on the regime's brutal actions.
Reports indicate CCP authorities have responded by harassing and threatening individuals suspected of involvement, including Chinese, US, and Canadian citizens.
Around the world, commemorations are being held in remembrance of those who lost their lives.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is holding a candlelight vigil in Washington DC to honor those killed during the massacre.
Human Rights Watch reports that similar events are planned in more than 30 cities across seven countries.
On Wednesday evening, members of the San Francisco branch of the China Democracy Party held a rally in front of city hall.
They chanted slogans such as do not forget June 4th and the CCP is doomed.
At a panel discussion in New York, a witness recalled what he saw that night.
>> Many people were crushed by tanks.
They had their brains, blood, and intestines scattered all over the ground.
It was horrific.
For many years afterward, I would have nightmares about that scene.
Earlier this year, Olympic gold medalist Alyssa Louu, drew attention in China because of her family history.
Her father, Arthur Lou, took part in the 1989 Teneamman Square protests before fleeing to the US after the crackdown.
As people began searching his background online, posts about the protests were quickly removed, highlighting how sensitive the topic remains in China.
On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the world remembers those who gathered to demand democratic reforms and accountability, adding that no amount of censorship can erase the past.
China responded the following day opposing Rubio's statement and claims the US is distorting historical facts.
Meanwhile, efforts to suppress remembrance continue in both mainland China and Hong Kong.
A performance artist in Hong Kong yesterday tried to honor the victims of the brutal repression, but was quickly stopped by police.
The latest sign of the city's shrinking freedom of expression.
For decades, Hong Kong was the only place in China where a large-scale public commemoration of the massacre was held.
However, commemorations have been heavily restricted since 2020 when China imposed a national security law that slowly took away freedom in Hong Kong.
