PHOTOS: Brooklyn Vigils Held For George Floyd's Birthday

BROOKLYN, NY — Brooklynites gathered across the borough on Wednesday to remember George Floyd on what would have been his 47th birthday.

Floyd's brother, Terrence, who lives in Bed-Stuy joined one vigil at the Flatlands Avenue mural dedicated to George, who died with a police officer's knee on his neck in Minneapolis in May.

“I’m here to be a voice for my brother and speak when he can’t speak, to walk where he can’t walk," Terrence Floyd said, according to reports from the vigil.

The Flatlands Avenue memorial came before another demonstration at the Barclays Center, which has become a meeting place in Brooklyn in the wake of Floyd's death and the renewed rise of Black Lives Matter protests.

Mourners — including activists and those who have also lost loved ones to police brutality — gathered outside the venue and released black balloons in honor of Floyd.
