Community gathers to celebrate the life of George Floyd with food and music
HOUSTON Not far from the funeral, people celebrated the life of George Floyd with food and music. The group Color of Change and Bethels Family Baptist Church in Houston hosted a community repass, or gathering after the service. We got to go to the next level to make sure these things stop happening, said Walter August Jr., senior pastor at the church. Pastor August is a father and grandfather who wants to make sure the movement sparked by Floyds death doesnt end with his burial. We're not only out here for him, we're out here in a specific movement trying to stop racial injustice, he said.
Hereโs how you can support the fight against racial injustice without leaving your home
Color of Change is the largest online racial injustice organization. Itโs a great place to donate to help fight racial injustices. If there is any organization that has been fighting for social justice and change for years and years, itโs the ACLU. Not only does it fight for racial justice, it fights for womenโs rights, LGBTQ+ rights and so much more. This is pretty simple: The petition is asking for justice for George Floydโs death.
