On June 9, local time, the funeral of the African-American man Floyd who was killed by violent law enforcement in the United States will be held in Houston, Texas.

"Gentle Giant" Funeral

　　The funeral of 46-year-old African-American man Freud was held at the church in Houston, where he grew up.

　　On the same day, at the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston, about 500 people including family members, parliamentarians, sports players and actors participated in the farewell ceremony. Many people burst into tears on the spot. Freud's body was buried after the ceremony, next to the mother's tomb.

　　At the farewell ceremony, politicians and celebrities gave speeches in memory of the "gentle giant" in their mouths.

　　Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, delivered a speech in a video saying that "now is the time to achieve racial justice"; local MP Green also pointed out that "Freud changed the world" and everyone has a responsibility to take further action in the future. Make sure this thing doesn't repeat itself.

　　Earlier, Houston had held a public observance ceremony, and thousands of people paid tribute to Freud's coffin. At the same time, a memorial service was held in the city of Minneapolis where he died and the birthplace of North Carolina.

On June 8, local time, in Houston, Texas, the United States, people looked at Freud's body inside the church.

African-American youth who had dreamed of "changing the world"

　　In 1973, Freud was born in North Carolina.

　　His growth trajectory is no different from that of many African Americans who struggled to grow up in poverty and violence.

　　When Freud was young, his parents separated and his mother took the children to settle in a poor community in Houston, Texas. Because the family needs to raise five children, life is more difficult than the neighbors, they often use bananas and mayonnaise sandwiches.

　　However, Freud's younger brother felt that although his family was not affluent, his family was full of love. Freud's childhood seemed to have a bright background.

　　At the age of 8, his ideal was to become a judge of the Supreme Court. Recently, his elementary school teacher published Freud's composition. Freud in his childhood wrote: "When people say,'Your Honor, he robbed the bank.' I would say'sit down', if he did not rob, I would let the guard release him. Then I would use a hammer Knock on the table and everyone in the audience will be quiet." Between the lines, Freud's pursuit of justice and justice was revealed.

　　As the eldest son of the family, Freud is the pride of the family. He was the first among siblings to graduate from high school and go to college. In high school, he focused on playing rugby and basketball and never caused trouble on the streets.

　　The classmates still remember Freud's words that he often hung in his mouth during his lifetime: "I will become a big person, I will do something different, I will change the world."

From trying to live to "can't breathe"

　　In Freud, you can see many shadows of poor African-Americans. The BBC said that these people struggled to get rid of the original environment of violence and poverty through education and work, but they have repeatedly suffered the blows of life.

　　The "gentle giant" who performed well on the college team had gone astray after dropping out of a Florida university for unknown reasons. He had been in and out of prison on charges of theft, drug trafficking, and trespassing on houses.

　　However, after moving from Houston to Minneapolis, Freud's life seemed to be back in color.

　　He worked two jobs in local restaurants and night music clubs. The boss and colleagues remembered the clean spirit he wore. He likes to grin and smile. When he sees regular customers, he will give each other a big hug. Sometimes, he would dance to music and make everyone happy in a clumsy manner.

　　But even in Minneapolis, which is proud of racial "diversity," policies that discriminate against people of color are still hidden at all levels of society including police law enforcement. In an interview with the New York Times, local residents once described what they encountered here as "racism with a smile."

　　On May 25, when the white former police officer Xiao Wan arrested Freud, he kneeled on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, causing his death. In the last few minutes of his life, he called his mother in despair: "Mom, Mom, I can't breathe."

　　At this point, Freud's dreams from small to large, or grand or tiny, came to an abrupt end at that moment.

Change is coming?

　　After Freud's death, large-scale protests were launched across the United States. During a protest in the capital Washington, hundreds of demonstrators lay on the tarmac road in front of the Trump Hotel and shouted the slogan "I can't breathe" in 8 minutes and 46 seconds, deafening.

　　New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco... Demonstrations rushed to more major cities in the United States, millions of people took to the streets to oppose racially discriminatory law enforcement. Demonstrators said they were tired of hearing the death of African-Americans due to racial law enforcement and urgently demanded reform.

　　On the 8th local time, Democrats in both houses of Congress of the United States Congress jointly launched a draft legislation aimed at comprehensively curbing police violence law enforcement, especially against excessive use of violence by African Americans and other minorities.

　　At present, the bill has been supported by more than 200 Democrats in both houses. However, many Republican lawmakers objected to the bill, adding variables to the passage of the bill.

　　"Freud won't die in vain". On June 8, Texas Governor Abbott said at the public ceremony to pay respects to Freud's body.

On June 5, Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C., requested that the words "The life of a black man is also life" on the 16th street leading to the White House.

　　New York City Mayor Bai Sihao announced on the 9th that a street in the "critical" section of each administrative district in New York City will be renamed as "black life is also life" street. He pointed out: "It is very clear that the name of our street and the streets of our city should convey such a message. This city fully feels that the life of black people is also life. This country must do the same."

　　And Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has already done so. On the 16th street leading to the White House, people painted bright yellow paint with the words "The life of a black man is also life". Overlooking from the air, this huge slogan that lies in the heart of American politics is eye-catching and alarming. (Finish)
