George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man, was killed as he was being arrested in Minneapolis on May 25, after police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes despite Floyd saying he couldn't breathe. Hundreds of people came to say a final goodbye to George Floyd at the Fountain of Praise Church in the U.S. city of Houston on Tuesday. Anti-racism protests sparked by his death have spread from the United States to around the world.
