Communities pause to remember life of George Floyd

Remembrances are being held in Minneapolis to mark the one year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, as the nation pauses to remember his tragic death and the protests and outrage that followed. The governor of Minnesota has called for a moment of silence for 9 minutes and 29 seconds across the state. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauven was convicted in April of murdering Floyd by holding his knee across Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes as he struggled to breathe.
