It was just over a week ago that Floyd's death was caught on camera and sparked nationwide outrage. His name has become synonymous with a fight for justice and against police brutality.
Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old officer seen in video footage with his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, Sharpton went on to say,"We don't want no favors. Just get up off of us and we can be and do whatever" we want. He added that the widespread protests have him"more hopeful today than ever."
"Some of y'all don't want peace. You just want quiet. You just want us to shut up and suffer in silence," Sharpton continued. Some of the protesters weren't"breaking windows, they were trying to break barriers. They wasn't trying to steal nothing. They were trying to get back the justice you stole from us."
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Floyd's family, said the justice he's fighting for will help"America be all America for all Americans." In opening remarks, Scott Hagan, president of North Central University, announced that a new scholarship would be named after Floyd.
