Thousands of people took to the streets in a national day of action to protest the Trump administration’s policies.

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.

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.
