Civil Rights organisation says change will happen

From Midday Report, 12:10 pm on 5 June 2020

It's been a day of mourning in the United States, as thousands upon thousands of people turned out for a memorial service for George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The service was televised live across the country - and the world - as friends and family remembered George Floyd, and civil rights activists contemplated his legacy.

Marc Morial is the President of the National Urban League, the largest and oldest community-based civil rights organisation in the United States.

He told Māni Dunlop it was a day to honour George Floyd's memory - but there's no doubt that change will happen.
