Roughly 325 people gathered on Medina Square July 17 to make their voices heard and to celebrate the life of civil rights activist and U.S. Congressman John Lewis.

"Through struggle and sacrifice, I’ve learned power doesn’t come from a podium, it comes from the people," said Memphis activist Jose Salazar.

THE BRIDGE BOUNCED and car horns blared. Between the street corners below and the pedestrian bridge above, the spot where Treat Boulevard meets Jones Road in Walnut Creek was hopping Thursday evening.

Organizers will call for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other voting rights legislation.
