'He'll change the world': George Floyd's family pays emotional tribute as crowds flock to funeral George Floyd’s life was celebrated at his funeral on Tuesday, with eulogies that honored him as a father, brother, athlete and mentor whose death sparked a global reckoning over police brutality and racial prejudice.

He is going to change the world.”
