Thursday’s demonstration was organized by Olympia Indivisible, a volunteer group that advocates for democracy and social justice.

In 1963, 18-year-old Charles Dumas watched in awe as John Lewis delivered his speech during the now-famous March on Washington. Sixty-two years later, on the fifth anniversary of Lewis’ death, 80-year-old Dumas joined demonstrators in front of the Allen Street gates to deliver a speech of his own.

Protesters gathered in parts of Maryland on Thursday to commemorate the life of civil rights activist John Lewis and to protest actions and policies from the Trump administration.
