More than 150 people gathered in Fred Cone Park in east Gainesville in honor of the late U.S. Congressman John Lewis.
The protests are part of a nationally organized event timed to mark the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis.
The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action honors the late congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis. Protests are expected to be held along streets, at courthouses and other public spaces. Organizers are calling for them to be peaceful.
Nearly 50 Florida cities and counties will host “Good Trouble Lives On” protests against the Trump administration on Thursday, July 17. One protest will occur in St. Johns County from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
