Philonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, said he's testifying before Congress today to "make sure that his death would not be in vain."
Floyd's killing at the hands of police last month has sparked protests across the country.
"I couldn't take care of George the day he was killed, but maybe by speaking with you today, I can make sure that his death would not be in vain," Philonise Floyd said today. "To make sure that he is more than another face on a T-shirt, more than another name on a list that won't stop growing."
George Floyd's brother: "He was our gentle giant. I was reminded of that when I watched the video of his murder. ... The man who took his life, who suffocated him for eight minutes and 46 seconds, he still called him sir as he begged for his life" https://t.co/7ksVGUABkH pic.twitter.com/EXoTItf2Mt
