Five years after the death of civil rights leader John Lewis, a group of demonstrators gathered Thursday to honor his legacy while also protesting

People took to the streets to honor civil rights leader John Lewis on the anniversary of his death – while also protesting the current administration.

The gatherings invoked the Civil Rights leader’s memory while offering another venue for groups protesting the Trump administration this year.

On the Treasure Coast, three "Good Trouble Lives On" protests occurred in Port St. Lucie, Stuart and Vero Beach. Over 1,600 protests were scheduled for July 17, and on the Treasure Coast, hundreds demonstrated.

Protests are planned across the nation on Thursday, the anniversary of civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis’ death. Lewis famously coined the term “good trouble” to describe nonviolent civil disobedience that challenges unjust systems.

More than two dozen protests were planned across Arizona to honor the late Rep. John Lewis, a longtime civil rights leader.
