Alveda King’s Message During George Floyd’s Funeral: ‘Do Not Grieve Without Hope’

‘I grieve along with George Floyd’s family, especially his little girl, about the loss of her father’

EXCERPT:

KING: "Harris, you’ve heard me say 'in the name of Jesus.' I am the niece of Martin Luther King, sometimes people pray in the name of Martin, and maybe today in the name of George Floyd, but in the name of Jesus I speak to America, peace to the world right now. I grieve along with George Floyd’s family, especially his little girl, about the loss of her father. And I have lost family members. It's very important for us to cease fire, of all of our different opinions, and just grieve with this family. But do not grieve without hope. America must do better. We will do better. We are going to have to have God’s help to do it, Harris."
