George Floyd to be buried alongside mother in Houston
Houston:
The funeral for George Floyd, the African-American whose death in custody has sparked worldwide protests against police violence, began Tuesday in Houston, where he is to be buried alongside his mother.
Relatives of Floyd and hundreds of guests, including legislators, athletes and actors, gathered in the Fountain of Praise church for the service that began with mourners approaching the open coffin to say goodbye to a man who has become emblematic of the latest American finding of racial injustice.
“We can cry, we can cry, we will be comforted and we will find hope,” said church co-pastor Mia Wright.
