The Rev. Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy for Tyre Nichols’ funeral service, three weeks after his death following a brutal beating by Memphis police. Also attending the service is Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Shelby County sheriff said he launched an investigation over concerns about two deuties who appeared in the video of the police beating that led to Tyre Nichols’ death in Memphis, Tenn.
Nichols’ funeral will be held at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church beginning at 1 p.m. Central time, its start delayed because of icy weather and travel delays. The Rev. Al Sharpton, founder and president of the National Action Network, will deliver the eulogy. Ben Crump, a national civil rights attorney who represents the Nichols family, will deliver a call to action.
Sharpton gathered Nichols' family and local activists Tuesday evening at Mason Temple Church of God in Christ in Memphis. The historic landmark is where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his final speech the night before he was assassinated nearly 55 years ago.“This is not about politics, it’s about justice,” Sharpton said. “People are coming from all over the world, and we are coming because we’re all Tyre, now.
The deaths of Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, and Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of police sparked protests across the nation about racial injustice.
