HuffPost
Thousands are marking the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's murder at religious services, concerts and vigils nationwide.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Police reform and civil-rights activists joined thousands of ordinary people on Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and decry the Trump administration for actions they say set their efforts back decades.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said at a graveside service with the dead man’s family in Houston that Floyd, 46, represented all of those “who are defenseless against people who thought they could put their knee on our neck.”
He compared Floyd’s killing to that of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black child who was abducted, mutilated and slain in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman.
“What Emmett Till was in his time, George Floyd has been for this time in history,” Sharpton said.
