George Floyd’s brother: Make sure his death is not in vain

Philonise Floyd, George Floyd’s brother, testified before Congress on Wednesday, calling on the law makers to make sure his brother’s death would not be in vain.

“I couldn’t take care of George the day he was killed, but maybe by speaking with you today, I can make sure that his death would not be in vain,” said Philonise Floyd.

He said that his brother didn't deserve to die over 20 U.S. dollars. “I am asking you, is that what a black man’s life is worth? 20 dollars? This is 2020. Enough is enough."
