More than 150 people gathered in Fred Cone Park in east Gainesville in honor of the late U.S. Congressman John Lewis.
From the streets of downtown Orlando to the corners of Deland, Altamonte Springs, Mount Dora, and Melbourne, hundreds of protesters gathered for yet another demonstration.
The protests are part of a nationally organized event timed to mark the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis.
The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action honors the late congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis. Protests are expected to be held along streets, at courthouses and other public spaces. Organizers are calling for them to be peaceful.
