North Carolina: Hundreds of mourners lined up Saturday in Hoke County, N.C., to mourn North Carolina-native George Floyd.
The memorial, consisting of a public viewing and private family service, was held in Raeford.
An estimated 500 people lined up to view Floyd’s casket 20 at a time. Some crowded near the church’s door, some sobbing, others shouting “Black power!” and “George Floyd!”
Some of Floyd’s family members, including his sister, Bridgette Floyd, a Hoke County resident, still call North Carolina home.
Though Floyd spent most of his time in Houston, he was born in Fayetteville, N.C., 22 miles east of the Cape Fear Conference B, a religious center where the memorial was held.
