The Rev. Al Sharpton Delivers Powerful Eulogy for George Floyd

Americans gathered in Minneapolis, New York and elsewhere for memorials honoring George Floyd, the unarmed black man whose death has sparked rolling nationwide protests against police brutality. The first of three memorials for Floyd was attended by celebrities, politicians and activists in Minneapolis. Senator Amy Klobuchar, civil-rights leader the Reverend Jesse Jackson, rapper Ludacris and actor Kevin Hart were among 500 mourners who gathered in a socially-distanced sanctuary at North Central University to pay respects before Floyd’s gold coffin and a projected mural that said “I can breathe now,” the Associated Press reported. Floyd’s casket will move on to viewings in Raeford, North Carolina, his birthplace; and in Houston, where he grew up. “He was a human being. He had family, he had dreams, he had hopes,” the Reverend Al Sharpton said before the memorial. “The real duty of one with this type of assignment is to underscore the value of the human life that was taken, which gives the reason the movement was occurring.” The Minneapolis service was one of scores of gatherings across the country to mark a death that sent tens of thousands into the streets.
