Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets around the US today to demand justice for George Floyd and other black Americans who have recently died following police violence.
Reverend Al Sharpton denounced racism and called for accountability in the criminal justice system as he delivered a eulogy at Floyd’s memorial service…
“The reason we could never be who we wanted to be – and dreamed of being – is you kept your knee on our neck.”
Sharpton spoke near a casket carrying Floyd’s body.
