"It happens everywhere in the world. People choose to think that it's not going on anymore - that's the biggest racism right now."
As huge crowds filled more and more streets around the globe, many companies are joining the 'Black Lives Matter' movement.
As a tribute, American TV channels like MTV and, Black Entertainment Television, announced Sunday that they will go dark for eight minutes and 46 seconds - the same length of time which a police officer pinned George Floyd to the ground with his knee before he died.
Companies like Twitter, Adidas, and Nike are also lending their support and are taking a strong stand against racism.
And on social media, more and more celebrities are coming forward to speak out on the death of George Floyd.
"We need justice for George Floyd. We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight. We're broken and we're disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain."
In the meantime, George Floyd's family has setup a fundraising campaign to help cover funeral expenses and grief counseling.
From rage over injustice to donations for the victim's family, the page has so far raised more than 8 million U.S. dollars.
