George Floyd's family reflected on his legacy and called again for police reform during a press conference on Sunday to mark the five-year anniversary of Floyd’s death.

The press conference took place outside the Houston, Texas cemetery where Floyd is buried and followed a private memorial that was held there by the family.

“I feel like it took nine minutes and 29 seconds to change the world, but it takes for us to be the change that we want to see,” said Floyd’s niece Brooke Williams, who also called on the community to engage politically and vote for local officials who support police reform and social justice efforts.
