George Floyd was honoured with a moment of silence in the city where he died at the hands of police, a death captured on a wrenching bystander video that galvanised the racial justice movement and continues to ripple a year later. Mr Floyd’s sister Bridgett and other members of Floyd’s family joined Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey, citizens and activists at a park to observe the moment at 1pm, the time set by Democratic governor Tim Walz in a proclamation that said “true justice” for Mr Floyd would only come by dismantling systemic racism. “It’s been a troubling year, a long year,” Bridgett Floyd told the crowd.
