Interestingly, two of these protests transpired in Polk. The organizers drew inspiration from the influential social justice advocates of the past, who demonstrated the potency of unified action.
On July 17, exactly five years since the demise of Congressman John Lewis, communities nationwide will converge on streets, courthouses, and community hubs to perpetuate his crusade for fairness, suffrage rights, "and respect for all individuals."
