Calls for systemic change, justice mark George Floyd funeral in Houston

Description

Houston, Jun 9 (EFE/EPA).- Family members, friends and community and political leaders called for justice and systemic change here Tuesday at the hometown private funeral for George Floyd, an African-American man who died late last month in Minneapolis, Minnesota, while in police custody.A total of 500 people invited by Floyd's family - all of whom were wearing masks - attended the ceremony at Houston's 2,000-seat The Fountain of Praise church, which was only one-fourth full due to coronavirus social-distancing restrictions.The service was broadcast live by major television networks in the United States and came a day after more than 6,000 people attended a viewing at that same church for Floyd, who died on May 25, and five days after an earlier funeral for him in Minneapolis.
