Source #2

1. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761573064/tiananmen_square_protest.html
2. The site is called Encarta MSN
3. Its credentials are that it is from MSN.com in the encyclepedia section so I think that is enough credentials for that.
4. The site says 1989 protest in Beijing, the culmination of a series of student-led pro-democracy demonstrations in China. The events leading up to the Tiananmen Square protest began with the death of Hu Yaobang, a former general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), in April 1989. Hu had become a hero to Chinese liberals after he refused to halt unrest in January 1987. Following Hu’s death, students began peaceful memorial demonstrations in Shanghai, Beijing, and other cities. The memorial escalated into a prodemocracy movement, with protesters demanding the removal of China’s paramount leader Deng Xiaoping and other Communist officials.
5. and 6. I believe the site because it is unique in a way that it explains how it really got to start like what drove the protesters in the first place to going into a frenzy and I think this site would be useful for me to put on the powerpoint to explain how things came about.
