Goddess of Democracy, Bronze sculpture in Portsmouth Square, San Francisco, United States
The Goddess of Democracy stands 10 feet tall, constructed in bronze upon a granite base, depicting a female figure holding a torch.
The statue was installed in 1994 to commemorate the original Goddess of Democracy created during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing.
This monument represents a connection between San Francisco's Chinese community and the international movement for democratic reforms in China.
Visitors can find the statue in Portsmouth Square, a central location in Chinatown that serves as a meeting point for community gatherings.
Thomas Marsh from the San Francisco Academy of Art created this sculpture with assistance from Chinese students who remained anonymous for protection.
