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.

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.

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell took time on Monday to remember the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis, marking the fifth anniversary of his passing this week.
