The event was one in an ongoing series of protests against President Donald Trump, this one on the anniversary of civil rights icon John Lewis' death.

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.

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

Former Representative John Lewis was a prominent figure of the civil rights movement and called peaceful protests “good trouble.”

The July 17 demonstration marked the fifth anniversary of the civil rights icon's death and is a follow-up to the No Kings rallies in June.
