Besides Klobuchar, Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Tina Smith, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Floyd’s family members were in attendance.
Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump revved up the packed, energetic crowd at the service, exhorting them to repeat several times, “Daunte Wright’s life mattered.”
The congregation responded enthusiastically to an artist painting a portrait of Wright on a black canvas with white paint as jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold played a solo of “Amazing Grace.”
