HONG KONG, CHINA -- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2019: On the first day of school, thousands of students rally for a class boycott assembly at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in Hong Kong, on Sept. 2, 2019. The protests began in June with calls to drop a now-suspended extradition bill that would have allowed Hong Kong residents to be sent to China to stand trial, then widened to include free elections for the city’s top leader and an independent inquiry into alleged police brutality.
