The United States has still not revived from the death of George Floyd, who died during restraining by a police officer on 25 May 2020. Floyd, who was also a hip hop artist, became the initiator of the protest 'Black Lives Matter.'
A white police officer named Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for around 8 minutes and 46 seconds that took his life, and it became the starting point of the revolution and protest asking for justice and 'Black Lives Matter.'
He had a daughter named Gianna Floyd, who did not attend his funeral at Houston Memorial Gardens, Pearland, Texas, United States.
Let's dig more information about George Floyd's daughter, Gianna Floyd, here.

Gianna Floyd is the daughter of the late George Floyd and his partner Roxie Washington. However, she did not attend her father's funeral.
