Boston, MA, in the US was one of the first cities in the world to erect a memorial to the June 4 Incident. In the corner of a small park near the entrance to Boston's Chinatown, a square stone memorial is erected; the monument bears inscriptions in English and Chinese. In English, the monument reads: "This park is dedicated in honor of the democracy movement in China and in memory of those who died in the struggle for freedom in Tiananmen Square in June 1989," then "Raymond L. Flynn, Mayor; September 10, 1989; City of Boston". In Chinese, the main line reads "This park is dedicated to the Chinese democracy movement, and memorializes the Chinese sons and daughters who sacrificed their lives to that movement on Tian'anmen Square".

At the time, Raymond L. Flynn said, "I wish this memorial was bigger, and I wish more people were aware of it. This stone memorial stands for the feelings of the people of Boston: We stand with the Chinese people in the democracy movement." In May, before the stone was inscribed, groups of Chinese students, scholars, and overseas Chinese people in Boston, as well as students studying abroad at universities across the US, had taken to the streets in support of the movement fighting for democracy and freedom in Beijing.

In 2010, the "Boston Globe" local newspaper reported that some residents wanted to remove the memorial to avoid "political disturbance". Nevertheless, the memorial still remains in one corner of the park.
