DALLAS — The nonprofit organization Next Generation Action Network has announced a week of commemoration to George Floyd, and all victims of police brutality, that will take place from May 24 through May 29.
The various events include rallies, live speakers, and marches during the same week that mark's the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd.
Last month, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murder and manslaughter in Floyd's death.
