HOUSTON - The family of George Floyd was in attendance honoring the memory of George Floyd at a mural dedicated in his honor. 

National and local leaders, friends, and family gathered to honor Houston native George Floyd at his alma mater, Jack Yate High School.

"Please remember that I will rise, my family will rise, black men will rise, Black lives will rise," the niece of George Floyd said before exiting the stage.
