The event was hosted by Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, members of the Dallas City Council and Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson.

Mayor Johnson issued a proclamation declaring Friday George Floyd Remembrance Day in the city of Dallas.

"I am honored to be able to declare today George Floyd Remembrance Day, not just in remembrance of George Floyd himself but for what he represents in being a turning point for our nation, for our state and for our city," he said.

At 8:46 a.m., there was an 8-minute and 46-second moment of silence to honor the memory of Floyd. Many people knelt while others laid on the ground.
