Floyd Foundation 'tags' teachers with gifts of supplies

Bridgett Floyd, the sister of George Floyd and founder of his memorial foundation, was in Clinton Thursday bringing gifts of school supplies to teachers at the high school.

"This is home, and it feels good to be able to interact with old teachers, old classmates and just be in good spirits and good vibes with good people," she said.

She was visiting on behalf of the George Floyd Foundation effort called "TAG" for teacher appreciation gifts.

"We adopt schools that may lack supplies, kids that may lack supplies," she said.

Geroge Floyd, who died at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking a national reckoning on police violence and racial justice, was born in Fayetteville, N.C., and his family memorial foundation is based there.

"I feel the need to stay in the community and to give back to communities and to others as he did," Bridgett Floyd said.
