Hundreds of mourners lined up to pay their respects to George Floyd at a Baptist-affiliated conference center in Raeford, N.C., near Fayetteville, where he was born.
His coffin was wheeled into a sanctuary by two men wearing face masks shortly before 11 a.m. as crowds gathered outside. Some mourners for the public viewing wore black t-shirts with “I can’t breathe” printed in large type.
The two-hour public viewing period was due to be followed by a private memorial service with prayer, scripture readings, song, short speeches and a eulogy for family members and friends.
