'I Can Breathe Now': After Days Of Nationwide Protests, George Floyd Is Eulogized

A memorial was held Thursday for George Floyd, who died last week after a police officer pressed a knee into his neck while detaining him in Minneapolis, triggering protests across the country.
In front of a golden casket and flower bouquets, and against a backdrop of artwork depicting Floyd saying, "I can breathe now," his brother Philonise shared memories of growing up together, eating banana mayonnaise sandwiches and sleeping in the same bed as kids.
"All these people came to see my brother," Philonise Floyd said. "And that's amazing to me that he touched so many people's hearts. Because he's been touching our hearts."
"Everybody wants justice," he continued, referring to those who have been protesting in the streets. "We want justice for George. He's gonna get it!"
In an impassioned eulogy, civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton said visiting where Floyd died made him realize that what happened there is a metaphor for the African American experience.
