On the one year anniversary of George Floyd's death at the hands of a white policeman, members of Floyd's family met with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House.
It was poignant moment as they mourned together and laughed together in the Oval Office. President Joe Biden spoke of "the hard reality that racism has long torn us apart".
The family pushed for the passage of a policing law named after Floyd. Biden told them "he just wants the bill to be meaningful and that it holds George's legacy intact".
While Floyd's brother Philonise Floyd called the president "a genuine guy", his nephew Brandon Williams said Biden showed "genuine concern" for how the family is doing.
Biden took time during the meeting to play with George Floyd's young daughter Gianna, who enjoyed some ice cream and Cheetos, the president said, after she told him she was hungry, news agency AP has reported.
Later, she stood before the cameras outside the White House and softly called out, "say his name". Family members chanted in return: "George Floyd."
