Several hundred protestors gathered in downtown Lincoln along O street Thursday, rallying in honor of former U.S. Congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis.

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

Demonstrators have taken to the streets across multiple states on Thursday to protest President Donald Trump’s Administration in a day of action honoring the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, with more events planned across the country in the evening.

The NWI Activists protest was held concurrently with national "Good Trouble" protests, named after a phrase coined by late civil rights activist John Lewis.

A protest in Appleton’s Houdini Plaza, scheduled for Thursday over what organizers are calling an attack on civil rights and voting rights.

"Good Trouble" touches upon but doesn't go into enough detail about the controversy surrounding the draft of Lewis' Aug. 28, 1963, March on Washington speech, which some felt was intemperate.
