Reporter thats right, john. Today is a series of goodbye for george floyd of the next few days. A few moment ago we saw the casket arrived here at North Central university in Downtown Minneapolis and over the course of the service, we are expecting to hear from family members and attorney for the family, ben crump and it will be eulogized. The family is waking up with all four officers charges and four officers facing charges, part of what they wish for this entire process. We heard from the familys attorney, it is not just about arresting these officers but trying to go to the next step of convictions as well. What we heard from Keith Ellison that this whole process will take months, processing this main for the family is going to take so much longer and this day of memorial bringing all these people together is part of that healing process. We spoke to friends of the family and george floyd and stephen jackson, one of the things he said was George Floyds name is going to be a name of change. Today we begin to process a legacy. Thats what well begin to see unfold and just a few hours now as well. When i say this is the beginning of a series of goodbyes for george floyd. There will be another memorial in North Carolina over the weekend where he was born and all of that will be back in the houston area where he grew up on monday and tuesday. John. Omar jimenez, appreciate that. Lets turn to Miguel Marquez now. It has been ten, emotional and exhausting days in minneapolis. Why is todays Memorial Service is so important to those who are trying to organize it. Reporter this is the day and we dont know how the whole day is going to be. This is the day people were dreading and people with now starting to grapple with what has happened in the city and the effects that it had around the country and around the world. People are preparing. We are at a park thatll be filled here. This is chris davis, you are the story of minneapolis. People havestepped up to help. What are you guys doing . We are a group of hospitality employees. I wanted to donate to him to help feed the people. My work morphed into this big production, we have corporate donations and private donations and volunteers coming. We are cooking across the street. Governor walz gave us permission to be in the park here and what well be doing is serving the Peaceful Protesters and feeding the community as restaurant employees, feeding people with our love. It is how to put our hearts out there. Reporter you are being humble as well. There are a possibility of 10,000 people in the area. Because of social distancing they cant get people in there. They have as many as 10,000 in the park. You guys are set to feed a thousand people . Are you ready . We are. Reporter what has this done to minneapolis . The event and now this is coming together . So much, we are already an industry in crisis with covid. With this we have friends that have lost restaurants and we have friends that have lost businesses and their homes and for nights we live in faear and we would hear choppers and booms and sirens, and it has been devastating. Seeing the way the community has come together. There are so many places that are doing and passing out donations of food for families that cant get to Grocery Stores and dont have transportations because we dont have service. It is just it is amazing to see the way everybody has come together as a city to support each other to support the family and to just show that we love the city. And do you think the worst has passed . Is this different in situations like this before . Absolutely. The last couple of days you really can see tall the turns. I think having the National Guard come into show their support and i feel at night is not so loud anymore. You just drive down the street and you will see volunteers that came in with buckets and brooms and anything they can do to help businesses that were burnt and vandalized. That flush of anger, we know the red cross is here and other Community Groups are here to supply food for individuals that may need it and the initial flush of anger that rush through the city, it was a adrenaline in the city. That seemed to have played out. Where does minneapolis go now . How do you get beyond this real way . Thats a question i dont have an answer for. I dont know. I think that the generation underneath underneath me needs to work together. Reporter these protesters are largely young, they are fairly idealistic. I think today is hopefully another step forward. John. Miguel marquez, remarkable act of kindness. We appreciate that. Now to sara sidner, you just heard his guest where she says she does not know where it begins. Many come to the site for their own reflection, what is it like today as the city prepares for this Memorial Service . Reporter john, today is a very solemn day. The crowds are smaller and there is a sense of real calm but there is also a deep sense of sadness here. You can really tell the tone of people has changed but i will say this has been considered a sacred spot in the city. There is no destruction here. There has only been, yes, there were cries of anger and cries of protest but here is saved as a sacred spot and they made it clear that this would not be touched. This is the place where george floyd died. This is his resting place. His first resting place. And so what you see behind me is a huge and growing memorial. This is just one side of the building. On the other side which is the other side where chauvin had his knee in George Floyds neck. It is covered and there are murals and signs. There are so many people here talking about what i cant breathe means especially of the time of covid. The combination of the two is devastating. We know the autopsy report shows george floyd also had coronavirus although he was asymptomatic. So Many Americans have felt that not because of the Police Officer but because of that terrible virus. The sense of not being able to breathe is a sense of the Community Felt for a long time. Not being able to breathe because they felt they are pressed by officers in certain neighborhoods. I want to bring in julian hough, can you tell me what it is like to be here for you . I think when you look around you can tell that everyone here are grieving. We give our peace but looking at whats going on in america it is devastating. Right now the country is to a point s other people have bee killed by Police Officers, you see different skin colors and not just black, asians, americans, whites and hispanics, we enough is enough. Today is one of the most historical day that we have for the memorial and i am so happy to be here and let my voice go on and let people know that we are tired and fed up. Our skin color does not justify us being killed. God gave it to us. Is it hard to love people for who they are . We should be able to call on the Police Officer and they should come to our rescue . What will we tell our kids tomorrow . It is heartbreaking and it is so, so sad. Reporter when you came to this country, did you have a sense of that tension was there and coming from where you have been of a difficult place. Did you have a sense of what did you think of america when you saw that relationship between black people and police . I never thought for once that what we went through siberia. We saw the civil war in siberia and we thought it would not be repeated. We came here in a sense of rescue and people can rescue us and telling our family members we are safe and we dont have to worry. But coming to this situation is all over, new york, new jersey and it is not just about us coming to this place, it is us accepting this. We are immigrants and i came legally, we work hard. I think the police should be there to answer the same questio questions, how are you feeling . Whats happening . It is not taking a person and kneeling on his neck for so many minutes. Imagine the pain for that mother and hes not a child, hes a huge man and he has someone that he calls mom. Reporter thank you so much julian. This is a big guy, hes 46 years old, george floyd and in his moment of despair, he called out mama, his mother has been dead for several years so it tells you where he was. He was in utter desperation. Sara sidner, please thank you your guest. It is time today, all of those coming together. To new york of a separate memorial for george floyd held in brooklyn. E athena jones is live for us. Reporter hi john. We are in downtown manhattan. This memorial is led by local civil rights leader and reverend kevin mccall and you will hear from terrance floyd, George Floyds brother. We could hear remarks from a series of elected officials and several of them have been invited and members of congress and new York Attorney general l latisha james. I spoke to reverend mccall of after a week of protests and all these expressions of emotions and pain and anger and fear and you have these four officers facing charges and could send them into prison for a couple of decades, is this now to enter into the healing phase. Does the memorial today mean we are entering the healing phase . The other part of the heart has to heal. Justice has to be served. Do you know how many times we have been down this road where even if you get indictments or charges, you dont get convictions. We know how difficult it has been to see members of Police Forces convicted of crimes against black men and women. Pastor is saying he plans to deliver a message of next step as well saying that we have to keep protesting and we have to keep the pressure on and we have to also talk about concrete steps that could be taken to make change beyond shouting in the streets of what kind of political change and steps could be taken. Hes planning to get that across today, john. Athena jones, thank you ver much. Next we remember george floyd.

Joining us now is the houston mayor. Thank you so much for joining us today. There will be a service in minneapolis and mr. Floyd will have a service in your city where he grew up in houston. Why is this important to you and your community . We grew up in the city of houston. We graduated from one of the high schools in the city of, jack yates high school. He played ball at jackson yates. A lot of people knew george and his family. This returning home for his final spot. We want to pay a tribute to him and uplift his family and show a lot of love to them. I am great you told those stories because it is important to remember George Floyds life as well as we try to understand the ramifications of his death. One of the ramifications have been mostly peaceful protests around the country and some violent. In terms of demand of justice for george floyd and others, we know there has been many cases where police were charged but not convicted. Accountability and trust is one of the Big Questions for all the demonstrations we have seen around the country. Here is how your chief puts it the other day. Here in houston, we in our investigation that used deadly force even when they shot someone and so i think we have to do a better job of showing the accountability that is going on. Describe your take on what the chief says we need to do a better job. What do the chief needs to do and mayors across America Needs to do across the delicate moment . You can always do better, training is critically important especially in the midst of coronavirus. There are a lot of people who lost their jobs and unemployed and dont have money to pay bills so thats a lot of stress and anxiety and Health Issues and you name it. Training is critically important when you see people on the streets to understand how to approach them and how to talk to them. Thats important. When it comes to viewing our procedures and actions and policies and making sure that we engage in best practices, thats important. When it comes to transparency, making sure that people know that we are being open and transparent with them, thats important. All of these factors together create that trust between the community and Law Enforcement and the community and you have to work at it each and everyday. No system is perfect but everyday we need to be striving to the degree of credibility and in integrity so people know what they are dealing with then. We are being serious and we are there to work with them and not ge against them. Mayor turner, appreciate your thought and best of luck of the preparations and the days ahead. Thank you, john. We look forward for a proper tribute to him. Coming up, live outside the courthouse where three men is charged with murder in the death of Ahmaud Arbery in court.

Martin savidge is live for us at the courthouse. Reporter the three defendants in this case are not present in the courtroom.

More that shows the actual effort to chase and apprehended arbery. He was out running in that neighborhood that day. It has been revealed that travis mcmichael, much of the testimony is focused on him. Hes the man in the shotgun. Travis mcmichael admitted to authorities that he shot Ahmaud Arbery and shot him three times. There is no question, he pulled the trigger when he saw Ahmaud Arbery coming in front of the pickup truck and lastly the most controversial testimony came in the form against the gbi agent. It is a reference to a coke conspiracy, right after the moment Ahmaud Arbery died on the ground in the streets. William bryant over heard uses a curse word.
