The Rev. Al Sharpton delivered a powerful speech at George Floyd’s memorial service held at North Central University in Minneapolis on Thursday, encouraging the world to make the commitment to justice for George by standing for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time former police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck.

1. I watched it. It is amazing how good, how powerful, and how spot on he is.

He is loud, but that’s needed. My favorite part was the times out.

I’ve wanted to hear that since before the eighties. The times out for white people and people of color working against one another. It was inspiring.

2. I know, he really was amazing!

MSNBC had clips of the high points, but I wanted to hear/post the entire eulogy in context since it really was worth watching The Rev inspiring everyone who was there!
