There he was buried next to his mother's grave.
Speaking in memory of George Floyd at a church in Houston, speakers said Floyd's "only crime was to be born black."
Floyd was tortured by a white police officer, Derek Chaovin, in the state of Minnesota on May 25 for his arrest. It killed former basketball player Floyd. At the time of his death he was screaming - 'I can't breathe'.
At the closing ceremony, Floyd's niece, Brooke Williams, said that some laws have been enacted to address the problem of blacks. He called for changes in those laws. "The laws are designed so that no African-American system works," he said. This law needs to be changed. We don't want to see any more white crime. "
Minnesota Governor Tim Wallace urged local residents to observe 8 minutes 46 seconds of silence in his memory at Floyd's funeral. Because for 8 minutes and 46 seconds before his death, a police officer kept George Floyd on his knees with the ground. Democrat candidate in the upcoming presidential election Joe Biden has given a message on the occasion of the funeral.
