Greg Abbott paid his respects along with hundreds of people mourning the death of George Floyd at a church in Houston, where Floyd grew up. The Republican governor was among the first to view the gold-colored casket, and he wore a striped gold-and-crimson tie, the colors of Floyd’s Houston high school, where Floyd was a standout football player. “George Floyd is going to change the arc of the future of the United States. His life will be a living legacy about the way that America and Texas responds to this tragedy,” Abbott said. Abbott said he planned to meet privately with Floyd’s family and present them with a Texas flag that was flown over the state Capitol in Floyd’s honor.
