The protests took 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.

Using the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis' phrase for a way to call out civil injustice, South Bend's Howard Park played host to a rally for peace.

The gatherings invoked the Civil Rights leader’s memory while offering another venue for groups protesting the Trump administration this year.
