Some 100 people were arrested at several protests, the Washington Examiner reported. On Saturday, about 100,000 women are expected to march in DC.
King, 83, started his career as a journalist in Florida in the 1950s.
Regarding the protests, Reuters reported:
About 500 people, some wearing masks, marched through the city’s downtown, using hammers to claw up chunks of pavement to smash the windows of a Bank of America branch and a McDonald’s outlet, all symbols of the American capitalist system.
The various protest groups scattered around the city chanted anti-Trump slogans and carried signs with slogans including “Make Racists Afraid Again,” a play on the New York businessman-turned-politician’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
