The term Tiananmen Square Massacre is a misnomer. Most of the killings took place along the routes into Tiananmen (e.g. Changan Ave.). I know because I was there.
The only problem with Tiananmen is that there is a lot of misinformation. Even the most anti-Chinese estimates do not run into the tens of thousands-it would contradict every estimate made since the massacre.
The most reliable number remains 2600, issued by the Chinese Red Cross-who then retracted its statement under pressure from the government. Read into that what you will.
That said, spreading awareness is always important-the BBC link is one of the best on YouTube.
