Just days away from the one-year anniversary of her brotherâs death which triggered a summer of protests for racial justice, George Floydâs sister, Bridgett Floyd, who started a foundation in his name, says her faith in God helped her survive his passing. I always put God first in everything I do, she said during a press conference Thursday. Without him I am nothing. God always gives me the strength to carry. He put me in this position. And oftentimes I want to ask, Why me? But they say you re never supposed to question God. So maybe He saw a weakness in me and He made it my strength. That s how I see it.

George Floyd one year later: Minneapolis celebrations, moment of silence
By FOX 9 Staff
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Tuesday marks one year since George Floyd was killed while being arrested by Minneapolis police officers.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020. Now-fired officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of his murder earlier this spring. The three other former officers charged in Floyd’s death will stand trial together next year. All four ex-officers are also facing federal charges for allegedly violating Floyd’s civil rights during the deadly arrest.
In the year since Floyd’s death, the intersection where he was killed 38th and Chicago has become an international memorial to Floyd and a gathering place for the community. The intersection, now known as George Floyd Square, remains closed to traffic.

The headline is a quote from Associated Press reporter Philip Crowther, who understandably worried where dozens of shots came from and where they were going to as well. The journalist happened to be recording a video segment on today’s anniversary of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, using what’s now known as George Floyd Square as a backdrop. The shots rang out just as Crowther started to make a point about police reform efforts in Congress:
