Reverend Al Sharpton Delivers Powerful Eulogy at Georgy Floyd’s Funeral
Reverend Al Sharpton delivers a powerful eulogy at George Floyd’s funeral as he encourages viewers to use their responsibility to improve our society.
“Until we know the price for black life is the same as the price for white life, we are going to keep coming back to these situations over and over again,” Al Sharpton begins his eulogy in Houston on June 9. Reverend Sharpton pays homage to George Floyd alongside Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Gardner, Pamela Turner, and Michael Brown in the last funeral service held before laying George Floyd to rest.

Reverend Sharpton addresses the issues concerning police brutality, racial inequality, and holding offenders accountable for their actions of violence. Graciously and valiantly, Reverend Sharpton assertively voices what many of us have been left thinking, “You’re sitting out trying to figure out how you’re going to stop the protest rather than how you’re going to stop the brutality.”
Closing out his eulogy, Reverend Sharpton announces his presence in the national marching protest in August held in Washington, honoring the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
