Which Is the Real Photo? The photograph of an unknown young man bravely defying oncoming tanks in an antigovernment protest in China’s Tiananmen Square has become an iconic image of individual courage and the global struggle for human rights. But after people who remembered the original image correctly were shown the doctored image on the right, their memories changed to incorporate the crowds of onlookers in the fake photo (Sacchi & others, 2007).
