Anti-Trump protesters rally in New York, Washington and elsewhere across the country
NEW YORK (AP) Opponents of President Donald Trumps administration took to the streets of communities large and small across the U.S. on Saturday, decrying what they see as threats to the nations democratic ideals.
The disparate events ranged from a march through midtown Manhattan and a rally in front of the White House to a demonstration at a Massachusetts commemoration of the shot heard round the world on April 19, 1775, marking the start of the Revolutionary War 250 years ago.
Thomas Bassford was among the demonstrators at the reenactment of the Battles of Lexington and Concord outside Boston. The 80-year-old retired mason from Maine said he believes Americans are under attack from their own government and need to stand up against it.
This is a very perilous time in America for liberty, said Bassford, who was with his partner, daughter and two grandsons. I wanted the boys to learn about the origins of this country and that sometimes we have to fight for freedom.
