A follow-up to my post about the Rochester NY "Good Trouble" rally on Thursday evening -

Today's Rochester Democrat & Chronicle had an article about the event, and also a good photo gallery with a few dozen photos of the rally and the march, much better pictures than the few I had taken. Here's the link to the article -

In Rochester, NY, a good-sized crowd marched through downtown this evening as part of the John Lewis Day "Good Trouble" rallies. We met at Parcel 5, where some speakers launched the event. Then we marched via Main Street and State Street to the big John Lewis mural near the Sister Cities garage, where we paused to listen to more speakers. Then we continued via Exchange Street, Broad Street, and South Avenue, back to Parcel 5. I couldn't get a good idea of the size of the crowd, because I am short, and there were a lot of tall people around me. But at one point, when the march made a turn onto another street, I could look from the corner in both directions, and saw that the line of marchers stretched for several blocks both ways.

They are carrying protest signs and flags. This view covers about half a city block. The whole line of march extended for a number of blocks.

Celebrate John Lewis, fearless civil rights icon! His bold #GoodTrouble—fighting injustice, leading marches, enduring beatings for equality—ignites our fight for freedom.

His legacy of courage, sacrifice, and vision inspires us to persevere with resolve.

In 1965, John Lewis led marchers across Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge, and was brutally beaten by police. The footage aired during prime time and shocked the nation, helping pave the way for the Voting Rights Act.

He never stopped fighting for justice.
