More than 200 rallied in Fort Myers to honor John Lewis and protest what they see as threats to civil and human rights.

The protests took place on the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights icon John Lewis. The former congressman coined the phrase "good trouble" to describe peaceful protests challenging civil rights infringements, and organizers say the upcoming demonstrations will carry on this legacy.

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.

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

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