George Floyd was an"ordinary brother" from Houston's housing projects who"nobody thought much about," which makes his central role in a generational movement that much more powerful, the Rev. Al Sharpton said at his funeral Tuesday.
"God took the rejected stone and made him the cornerstone of a movement that's going to change the whole wide world," Sharpton said."Your family is going to miss you George, but your nation is going to always remember your name. Because your neck was one that represents all of us, and how you suffered is how we all suffer," he added.
