Plans to hold a series of memorial services and public viewings for George Floyd have been finalized more than a week after the 46-year-old unarmed Black man was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis.
Benjamin Crump, the civil rights attorney representing Floyd’s family, and the National Action Network notified the media Tuesday morning to the schedule for three separate memorial services and public viewing sessions to be held in three separate locations that he played a significant role in Floyd’s life.
The public viewing was set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. local time, followed by the memorial at 3 p.m.
Finally, Floyd will be laid to rest in his native Houston, where his funeral will take place.
Floyd’s memorial in Houston will take place next Tuesday, June 9, at 11 a.m. local time, also at Fountain of Praise.
The news about the memorials and public viewings came after boxing legend Floyd Mayweather announced he would be paying for Floyd’s funeral.
