The family of George Floyd will meet US President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday on the anniversary of his death.
Mr Floyd, 46, died on May 25 2020 after then-officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck, pinning him to the ground for more than nine minutes. His death sparked outrage across the US, and the world.
Chauvin was convicted last month of murder and faces sentencing June 25. Three other former officers still face trial.

At least one person was killed in a crash involving a car and a MnDOT pickup truck in Minneapolis Wednesday evening.
A Minnesota Department of Transportation truck crew was clearing debris on the southbound side of I-35W at 50th Street at around 8:30 p.m., with the Minnesota State Patrol saying the truck was on the right shoulder with emergency lights on.
As traffic slowed and merged to accommodate the DOT vehicle, the driver of a Nissan Versa allegedly overcorrected and lost control.
