2019–20 Hong Kong protests

The **2019-20 Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests** were caused by the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 proposed by the Government of Hong Kong. Many protests were held in Hong Kong and other cities around the world, protesting against the bill,

People worried that the bill would cause the city to open itself up to the reach of mainland Chinese law and that people from Hong Kong could become subject to a different legal system.

Various protests have been launched in Hong Kong by the general public and legal communities. Among these, the 9 June protest organised by the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF), had 1.03 million people protest on the streets. Protests in other places were also launched by overseas Hongkongers and locals.

Despite the widespread demonstrations, the government initially insisted on the bill's passage, saying that the bill was urgent and that the legal loophole should be fixed. On 15 June 2019, Carrie Lam announced the suspension of the bill. On 4 September, Lam promised that the bill would be withdrawn when the Legislative Council started again in October. The government formally withdrew the bill on 23 October.

Exodusters

**Exodusters** were a name given to African Americans who moved from states that were along the Mississippi River to Kansas. This happened in the late 1800s. It was called the **Exoduster movement** or the **Exodus of 1879**. It was the first migration of black people after the American Civil War. About 40,000 black people moved from the south to Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado.

Black people moved from the south because they were treated very bad. They were running away from groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the White League, and they were running away from black codes and Jim Crow laws. They were treated like second-class citizens. This was during Reconstruction.

History of Kansas

|Important dates in Kansas's history||
| --- | --- |
|style="border-top: 1px solid; font-size: smaller;"|;July–August 1541: Coronado explores Kansas ;April 30, 1803: Louisiana Purchase; US buys most of Kansas ;May 30, 1854: Kansas Territory organized ;July 29, 1859: Constitution adopted by convention; prohibits slavery ;January 29, 1861: Kansas becomes 34th state ;August 21, 1863: Quantrill's Raid on Lawrence ;Spring 1879: Exodusters ;February 19, 1881: First state to  prohibit alcohol ;1890s: Populist Revolt ;July 1951: Great Flood of 1951 ;May 1954: _Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka_|

The first people who lived in Kansas were Native Americans who were nomadic (people who don't live in one place for very long). They hunted American bison. In the 1500s, Spanish conquistadores came to explore the place. Later, French fur trappers came to the area. They traded with the Native Americans. The United States added most of Kansas in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act opened the place for Americans to move there. A lot of fighting happened because the new residents had to decide if they wanted slavery. The new residents decided to make slavery illegal. The fighting helped start the American Civil War.
Jerome Lane

**Jerome Lane Sr.** (born December 4, 1966) is an American retired professional basketball player. Lane was born in Akron, Ohio and played at Saint Vincent-Saint Mary High School. During his 1986-87 season at the University of Pittsburgh, he got the record in America for most rebounds per game for basketball players that were his height (6 feet and 6 inches). The following season, he led the Big East Conference in that statistic. On January 25, 1988, Lane broke a backboard with a slam dunk often called "The Dunk", prompting announcer Bill Raftery to exclaim, "Send it in, Jerome!" In the NBA, Lane had two of the worst free throw shooting performances in the history of the league, including shooting 0-8 on December 29, 1992. Lane played in other professional basketball leagues around the world and consistently led them in rebounding.

Lane's son, Jerome Lane Jr., plays in the NFL.
Run Like Hell

***Run Like Hell*** is the 22nd track from the Pink Floyd album, The Wall. It was released as a single in 1980.

## Concept

The Wall is a concept album depicting the story of Pink, an alienated rock star. At this point in the story, Pink is imagining himself as a fascist dictator during one of his shows. His behavior turns his crowd into a vicious mob, following his commands. The lyrics are threatening, and directed to the listener. The lyrics call the listener one with an _"empty smile"_ and a _"hungry heart"_, _"dirty feelings"_ and a _"guilty past"_.

## History

The song was originally written by David Gilmour. The lyrics were written by Roger Waters. Waters provides all of the vocals on the studio version, but in live versions, Gilmour and Waters trade vocals each line.
In the Flesh?

***In The Flesh?*** is the opening track of Pink Floyd's rock opera album, The Wall.

## Concept

The Wall tells the story of Pink, and alienated rock star. This song introduces Pink. It resembles the opening of a rock concert. Pink sings about how despite how he looks (in the film he appears to be a fascist dictator), he is not exactly what he seems. He says, _"if ya wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes / you'll just have to claw your way through this disguise!"._
