The family of George Floyd is celebrating after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted today of murder and manslaughter in Floyd's death.
At a joyous family news conference, Floyd's brother Philonise said he's been getting messages from around the world. He told reporters that "they're all saying the same thing: 'We won't be able to breathe until you're able to breathe.' Today, we are able to breathe again."
Floyd family attorney Ben Crump says: "This is a victory for those who champion humanity over inhumanity. Those who champion justice over injustice."
