US President Joe Biden will host George Floyd's family at the White House Tuesday to mark the first anniversary of his death at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020 after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes, while Floyd repeatedly said he couldn't breathe.
His death sparked months of nationwide protests focused on systemic racism and a renewed debate over police reform in the US. Chauvin was convicted last month on multiple charges for Floyd's death.
