Tyre Nichols will be remembered by friends, family, community members and activists at a funeral today in a Memphis, Tennessee, church.
Nichols grew up in Sacramento, California, and was a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, per AP. He reportedly "came to Memphis just before the coronavirus pandemic and got stuck.", who is leading the service at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church.
Turner said he hopes Nichols' funeral will become a rallying cry that will encourage mourners to channel their outrage into the ongoing fight for systemic change. "We wouldn't be fully human if we couldn't admit that there are times where we're like, you know, 'What's the use?'" Turner said. "But we don't allow ourselves to stay there. We find the energy and the strength to keep pressing on."
