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.

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.

In 1963, 18-year-old Charles Dumas watched in awe as John Lewis delivered his speech during the now-famous March on Washington. Sixty-two years later, on the fifth anniversary of Lewis’ death, 80-year-old Dumas joined demonstrators in front of the Allen Street gates to deliver a speech of his own.
