The theme of the rally, one of hundreds planned across the U.S., is in tribute to the late civil rights leader John Lewis.

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

Demonstrators across the country call for civic action, accountability, and justice in the spirit of the late congressman.

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.
