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.

A group of Ames residents gathered Thursday, July 17 in Ames as part of the nationwide 'Good Trouble Lives On' protests in honor of John Lewis.

A young John Lewis helped lead hundreds of peaceful protestors across the bridge in support of equal voting rights for Blacks. Lewis was among those attacked by state troopers, suffering a skull fracture in what would come to be known as "Bloody Sunday."

Ramirez was one of about 100 people who gathered at Burk Burnett Park Thursday evening to participate in the Good Trouble Lives On protest — a national tribute in remembrance of Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights leader who died on July 17, 2020.

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

The name "Good Trouble Lives On" comes from a phrase coined by the late Rep. John Lewis, a pioneering civil rights advocate.

Organizers will call for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other voting rights legislation.
