George Floyd’s family meets with Biden, Harris at the White House to push for police reform
Description
May 25, 2021
Members of George Floyd's family met with U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, urging them to pass police reform legislation in Floyd's name a year after his death in Minneapolis. "It was great. He's a genuine guy," Philonise Floyd, a brother of George Floyd, said after the meeting. Biden had wanted U.S. lawmakers to finish work on the legislation overhauling police practices by the anniversary of Floyd's death. A bipartisan group of lawmakers in the House and Senate has been working toward that end. Floyd, a Black man, was killed in May of 2020 when a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes.
