A People's Calendar (aPC) is an open-source project that seeks to promote the worldwide history of working class movements and liberation struggles in the form of a searchable "On This Day" style calendar.
On this day in 1947, the 228 Massacre took place in Taiwan when anti-government protesters were fired on by the army, killing three. The murders began a period of open rebellion and 38 years of martial law known as the "White Terror".
