Watch George Floyd’s Funeral in Houston

Just over two weeks after George Floyd’s death sparked protests against police brutality and systemic racism across the world, his funeral is being held in Houston.

Friends and family came to pay their respects to Floyd, who was killed by police officers in Minneapolis while unarmed. The funeral follows the memorial service held for him in Minneapolis, which saw Rev. Jesse Jackson, Minnesota Rep. Illhan Omar, Martin Luther King III, and Kevin Hart in attendance. Another public memorial was held for Floyd in Houston on Monday at the Fountain of Praise church, which is the same church where his funeral is being held.

At the funeral, CBS News reports that Floyd’s casket was left open for mourners to see his body. The move is reportedly an homage to Emmett Till, who was lynched at age 14 in 1955; Till’s mother requested her son’s casket be left open in order for those in attendance to see what was done to him. Hundreds turned up to say goodbye to Floyd, with hundreds also crowding the church outside.

Floyd died on May 25 when officer Derek Chauvin put him in handcuffs and kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes. “I can’t breathe,” he told Chauvin and the three other officers involved in his arrest for allegedly using a fake $20 bill. His death was caught on video, circulating online and sparking global outrage including protests in all 50 states in the U.S. Chauvin and the three other officers have been arrested.
