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."

More than 200 rallied in Fort Myers to honor John Lewis and protest what they see as threats to civil and human rights.

Organizers said the protests were a direct response to what they characterize as the Trump administration’s “brazen rollback” of civil and human rights.
