Imagine being there for the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. Terril Jones doesn't have to. He was there. He's an instructor in international journalism at Claremont McKenna College, and was an Associated Press correspondent in Tokyo, Paris and New York from 1982-1997. He shares his story of witnessing the protests in Beijing, dodging Chinese soldiers, and seeing the tanks and massacre that changed history.

Professor Gennifer Weisenfeld sits down with Terril Jones to talk about his experiences in Beijing. Jones is a longtime foreign and business correspondent who has lived and traveled through Asia since the 1970s. Jones was in Tiananmen Square during the 1989 Student Protest and his photography adds a different perspective to the protest. Weisenfeld is a Professor in the Department of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University. Her con conversation with Jones was made possible by the Rethinking Global Cities project, a Duke project funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's "Partnership in a Global Age".
