CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-LOUISVILLE, Kentucky-A prominent Louisville, Kentucky community activist, on Sunday, told Clevelandurbannews.com and KathyWrayColemanOnlineNewsBlog.Com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers, that President Donald Trump's March 20, 2017 political rally at Freedom Hall (the Kentucky Exposition Center) in downtown Louisville, Kentucky will be met with a counter-protest, which is scheduled for outside of Freedom Hall at the same time as Trump's rally. (Editor's note: Doors for the 7:30 pm event, which requires tickets, are scheduled to open at 4:30 pm ).
"I am not leading it and it will be a collaboration of groups, but yes," said Louisville activist Christopher 2X. "there will be a counter- protest."
Formerly Christopher Anthony Bryant, 2X is likely the city's most prominent community activist behind the late Rev. Louis Coleman Jr., the state's most known activist in recent decades who died in 2008 at 64-years-old and was a cousin of longtime Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman, a native of Louisville who resides in Cleveland and leads the Imperial Women Coalition and edits the Cleveland based Clevelandurbannews.com and KathyWrayColemanOnlineNewsBlog.Com.
Coleman's late mother, Dr. Gertrude White Coleman, was a greater Louisville community activist.
The Republican real estate mogul's last visited the Derby City, which is the hometown of late boxing great Muhammad Ali, in May for an endorsement by the NRA , which was preceded by a presidential campaign rally he held there last March.
A Republican, Trump won the presidency in November over former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a stunning upset.
This week's political gathering in Louisville is, in fact, timely.
The U. S. House of Representatives, on Thursday, March 23, will vote on whether to repeal Obamacare, officially known as the Affordable Care Act, which is former President Obama's' signature universal healthcare initiative, a federal law that Trump and Congressional Republicans want replaced with their own healthcare brand.
Obama is the nation's first Black president, and whom Trump succeeded in January of this year.
Vice-President Mike Pence, a former governor of the state of Indiana, which is a stone's throw from Louisville via the neighboring city of New Albany, visited Louisville earlier this month to push for support of the repeal of Obamacare.
2x said that the possible repeal of Obamacare is alarming and that the Black community must bear its brunt and organize its people behind any public policy changes that might have a negative impact on the community.
"We must hold our heads high and collectively work together to sustain the hits from Washington and elsewhere that our communities might have to sustain," said 2X, who leads the Louisville-based activist group Hood to Hood.
