Death & Legacy
George Floyd, whose death in Minneapolis police custody has sparked nationwide protests, was a "gentle giant" who loved his family and was trying to turn his life around, according to his family and friends. Floyd died May 25, 2020, after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes, an incident that was caught on video and has led to protests against police violence toward black people in cities across the U.S. and around the world.
