Overview
The June 4 Memorial Fund
was an independent, non-profit student/faculty organization initiated in 1989
to promote human rights for all Chinese people.
Historical Note
The June 4 Memorial Fund was initiated in response to the 1989
Tiananmen Square Massacre in Beijing, China. As an independent, non-profit
student/faculty organization, its purpose was to promote human rights for
Chinese people living inside and outside of China. During the group's

commemorative event, and worked to advance public awareness of civil rights
issues.

The collection is divided into three series: I. Administrative, II. Events, and III. Other organizations.
