Multiple memorial services have been scheduled to honor George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer—now fired and criminally charged—knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes and whose death sparked the biggest protests and civil unrest since the Vietnam War era.

Expected to stretch across six days and three states, Floyd’s memorial services were due to begin on Thursday in Minneapolis, the attorney for Floyd’s family told media. The first memorial is scheduled to take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at North Central University.
