George Floyd is buried beside his mother's body
The death of George Floyd, a black American, was caused by a society that thought it was a crime to be black, speakers said at a funeral service in Houston, Texas, on Thursday. The body of Floyd, who was loaded into a funeral car, was taken to the Houston Memorial Park in a procession and buried next to his mother's body.
Floyd's nephew Brooke William, who spoke on the occasion, said the laws that would have been discriminatory to blacks should be changed.
“Why is this system of things so corrupt and broken? The law was created to break the African-American system. These laws need to be changed. There should be no more such crimes. Please make America a great country. When will America excel? ”She said in a speech at the funeral. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden addressed the funeral by sending a video message this time. “We wonder how George Floyd will do justice. We are truly committed to bringing about justice in America, ”Biden said.
Biden also criticized Trump, saying Donald Trump made derogatory remarks about Floyd.
The funeral service was held at the Fountain of Freedom Cathedral, attended by 500 politicians and elite artists.
