Family members of George Floyd, the Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes in May, will join a Tallahassee “Souls to the Polls” event on Sunday, according to organizers.

Floyd’s death sparked protests against police brutality throughout the country. Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, a Tallahassee resident who has represented Floyd’s family, will accompany the family members, according to a news release.

The Souls to the Polls event, one of numerous similar events throughout the state, will begin with a 10 a.m. service led by the Rev. R.B. Holmes at Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Tallahassee.

1. Please VOTE for George and all others who were victims of racism.

Black Lives Matter. Me saying that as a middle aged white WASP with 2 kids and a dog doesn’t make me special. It certainly doesn’t make me any less white or American. It doesn’t mean I hate the police. It just means I see systemic racism and I’m tired of it.

If you decide not to vote your are doing a disservice to all who have fought for racial justice.
