George FLOYD died on May 25th 2020 after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. His dying words, "I can't breathe," became a rallying cry in a wave of street demonstrations against his killing.
Derek Chauvin, a white former Minneapolis policeman, was found guilty of murdering him.
To mark the anniversary of the death of George Floyd, we invite you to leave tributes to George below. His death shook the world and reignited the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
In the words of civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton: "George Floyd should not go down in history as someone with a knee on his neck, but as someone who broke the chain of police brutality and illegality."
On Sunday, relatives and demonstrators gathered in a rally to mark the first anniversary of the death that triggered protests against racism and police brutality across the US and around the world.
The George Floyd Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organisation launched by Mr Floyd's siblings in September to fight racial inequality, is hosting a series of events in Minneapolis in the coming week to honour his memory.
Our thoughts are with George's family, friends and the many people affected by his tragic death.

The death of George Floyd shocked and appalled me. I was relieved when he got the justice he, and too many others before and after him, deserve.
My thoughts are with his family on the anniversary of his tragic death. May you rest in peace George.
