As estimated 200 people took part in the rally on July 17 at state Routes 5 and 20 and South Main Street in Canandaigua,
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.
Titled "Good Trouble Lives On," organizers said the rallies will take place all over the country on National John Lewis Day of Action. According to organizers, the rallies are also in honor of the legacy of the late Congressman, who often called on his supporters to make "good trouble, necessary trouble."
The Good Trouble Lives On protests on July 17 follow similar protests across the U.S., dubbed No Kings, in June.
The late Civil Rights activist John Lewis used the term "good trouble" to define peaceful and nonviolent methods to denounce injustice.
