The United States has still not revived from the death of George Floyd, who died during restraining by a police officer on 25 May 2020. Floyd, who was also a hip hop artist, became the initiator of the protest 'Black Lives Matter.'

A white police officer named Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for around 8 minutes and 46 seconds that took his life, and it became the starting point of the revolution and protest asking for justice and 'Black Lives Matter.'

He had a daughter named Gianna Floyd, who did not attend his funeral at Houston Memorial Gardens, Pearland, Texas, United States.

Let's dig more information about George Floyd's daughter, Gianna Floyd, here.
