Sunday marked for five years since George Floyd's death

Minneapolis (NBC, Kyma/Kecy) – Sunday is five years since George Floyd's death.

Events took place all weekend in Minneapolis to mark the occasion. People came together on Saturday to climb in the same place and to remember the festival where Floyd was killed. News were filled with hope.

There are also light five years after a dark day.

“I feel hopeful, so that's something very special for me when Minneapolis, Minnesota, where George Floyd's murder took place, we will not forget,” said a resident in Minneapoli's resident.

During the ascent and remembers the festival not only of the pain, but also the mayor of Brooklyn Center, April Graves, is also produced.

“I really think that love is much stronger than hate,” said Mayor Graves.

Graves says, but lately it has been easier to succumb to the latter, but they won't allow it.

“With some of the recent changes at the federal level and some rumors about potential pardoning and topics about the declaration of consent, it is like a deliberate repetition of the community. But that doesn't mean that we allow ourselves to break,” remarked Graves.

Your strategy? Joy.

“As a black man, I was sad. I was depressed. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to scream. I wanted to fight. I wanted to do a lot of things. But I will appear here with joy,” said Anthony Davis, a former NBA player.

Davis and Alberder Gillespie lead organizations that are devoted to the players and their families.

“I think it comes from, we are determined to move forward. We are determined, not the pain that was here, the last word, but the last word,” said Gillespie.

“In times when things happen, we have to do that. We cannot run into opposite directions,” added Davis.

They say that there is a long way to heal, but they will go together.
