A funeral for George Floyd was held today in his hometown of Houston, Texas.
. Hart said their presence at the memorial was about"standing with the family."
"[It's] just literally letting them know that they're not alone. We now have a job to do, which is elevate our voices, use our platforms and really push the initiative for change," Hart shared."So for me, it was a no-brainer just to come. More importantly, when you just look at what's going on globally, you look at the many different voices that are now being used and people are lying to themselves.
"You make it a point to be a part of a mission that's for good, and I think that right now it's not only time for change, but I think that it's happening," he added."There's a positive in every negative, and I think there's gonna be an amazing positive coming out of this." Gibson shared similar sentiments, telling ET,"Unfortunately as a black man, we have been in these rooms way too many times."
"God has given us all a platform, a stage, an influence... this pain is going to turn into a lot of benefits for a lot of people," he expressed."I thank God I am here. I just want to send my most sincere prayers. I just hope the family will invite Lord Jesus Christ, because only he can give them a level of security and stand with them. This all hurts."
