Two weeks after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police fueled worldwide protests and calls to action against racial and social injustice, he will be laid to rest Tuesday in Houston in a celebration of live and private service beginning at 11 AM CT/9 AM PT.
The celebration of life will be held at the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston, followed by an entombment at Houston Memorial Gardens and Cemetery. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Rev. Al Sharpton, Floyd attorney Benjamin Crump, Slim Thug, Leela James, Paul Wall, Jamie Foxx, Floyd Mayweather, Rep. Al Green and Bishop James Dixon are among the guests slated to attend the memorial, which also will feature a taped message by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The day’s events follow several memorials for Floyd that began last week in Minneapolis and included one in his home state of North Carolina. On Monday, the Fort Bend Memorial Planning Center funeral home in Houston hosted a six-hour public viewing that drew thousands.
