The City Council will adjourn in honor and memory of George Floyd. May 25, 2021 marks one year of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. His tragic death sparked community, national and global conversations about race and the inequities and injustices for Black Americans and people of color. While our community continues to heal from pain and anger, we must also continue to take action to dismantle structural and institutional racism. George Floyd grew up in Houston, Texas, and was proud of his roots in the city's Third Ward. He played basketball and football and was a star athlete in high school and college, with dreams of playing professionally. He was also a hip hop artist and mentored youth in his neighborhood, acknowledging his shortcomings to encourage others. Today, in memory of George Floyd and all victims of injustice, the City of San José stands committed to build toward a just, equitable and resilient future.
