Protesters rallied on the fifth anniversary of John Lewis' death to honor his legacy and denounce the Trump administration's rollback of civil and human rights.

A rally at MLK Jr. Memorial Park commemorated the fifth anniversary of civil rights leader and U.S. Rep. John Lewis' death.

The protests were slated to take place on Thursday, July 17, the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights champion and Congressman John Lewis, who popularized the concept of "Good Trouble," referring to non-violent civil disobedience.

Civil rights protests are being held across the United States on Thursday, five years after the death of John Lewis.

Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to gather at more than 1,600 locations nationwide on July 17 to rally against many of the Trump administration's policies. The name for the Good Trouble Lives On protests comes from a phrase commonly used by the late Rep.

Two events in West Palm and others near Boynton and Delray Beach will protest Trump's policies and honor the late John Lewis.

Those angered by rollbacks on things such as​ voting rights, essential services and free speech rallied on July 17, the fifth anniversary of John Lewis’ death.

Lewis' influence and philosophy to engage in "good trouble, necessary trouble," is the backbone of the latest round of nationwide protests against President Donald Trump's administration, called Good Trouble Lives On.
