Several musicians and actors have just arrived at the #GeorgeFloydMemorial. They include rappers T.I. (with his wife Tiny) and Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Will Packer and Marsai Martin.

Rev. Sharpton asked attendees to observe an 8 min and 46 second long moment of silence — the time that Officer Derek Chauvin had his knee pressed into George Floyd’s neck. Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, and actress Tiffany Haddish joined him on stage.

“What happened to Floyd happens every day in this country in education, in health care, and in every area of American life. It’s time for us to stand up in George’s name & say, ‘Get your knee off our necks.’” says Al Sharpton.
