Five years after George Floyd's death, friends reflect on their memories and the impact of his life in Houston's Third Ward. Many traveled to Minnesota seeking justice following his tragic killing. Friends like rapper Cal Wayne recall their childhood memories with Floyd, emphasizing his influence in their lives. The mural honoring Floyd remains a symbol of remembrance, as they advocate for justice and aspire to fulfill his legacy. His death catalyzed a movement within the community, sparking activism and a desire for change in the fight against social injustice.
This is my brother," Wayne said, who featured Floyd in some of his earlier rap videos. "This is the first person I've ever looked up to. This is a person that put the crates up on a tree for us to play basketball when we were little.
To see my friend and a guy that I was born and raised with, who we said is like brothers, for him to be on the ground like that, you know, it sparked the change.
