The legacy of civil rights icon John Lewis will live on across America Thursday, with more than 1,600 events scheduled on the fifth anniversary of his death.

The protests are taking 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.

The Good Trouble Lives On protests on July 17 follow similar protests across the U.S., dubbed No Kings, in June.

The July 17 protest in Green Bay was intended as a demonstration focused on civil rights. Protesters expressed anger and disgust more broadly.
