Rev. Al Sharpton in his eulogy noted how Daunte Wright’s mother, who is white, and father, who is Black, "raised him in an interracial home." "They defied the color barriers," he said, and "raised children to not hate nobody."

Sharpton said, "I don’t care how much settlement they [Wright’s family] may be given -- you can never fill the hole in their heart that was caused for no reason."

"The time has come for America to stand up and bring a new day -- to where we don’t have to explain to our children what to do when the police stop you," Sharpton said. "It's time to bring a new day where we don’t have to videotape when we see a badge, but where we know that that badge will serve and protect -- not treat us like we've been convicted. The time has come for police to understand they're not above the law."

Wright’s death will "change the laws of the land," Sharpton said, and children not born yet will "know his name."

Daunte Wright's mother Katie Wright was overcome with emotion as she spoke at the funeral.

"My son should be burying me," she said.

"My son had a smile that was worth a million dollars," she said. "When he walked in the room he lit up the room. … He was loved by so many."

Daunte Wright's baby son was born prematurely, she said.

The "joy" his son brought to his life was "truly amazing," Katie Wright recalled. "He was so happy and so proud and he always said he couldn’t wait to make his son proud."

"He lived for him every single day and now he’s not gonna be able to see him."

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump led the mourners in a chant of: "Daunte Wright’s life mattered."

"Justice for Daunte Wright," he said.

"Our heart is broken with yours as we come to lay him to rest," Crump said to his parents. "But most importantly we celebrate his life and we define his legacy."

"As we make the plea for justice in the court of public opinion that we pray [Minnesota] Attorney General Keith Ellison will allow us to get full justice in the court of law," he said.

Emmett Till’s family, Oscar Grant’s family and Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend came to the funeral to show their support, along with George Floyd’s family, Crump said.

Till, a 14-year-old Black boy from Chicago, was killed in Mississippi in 1955. Till was kidnapped, beaten and lynched after he was accused of whistling at a white woman. Two white men went on trial for his killing and were acquitted by an all-white jury.

Grant, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot dead by a transit officer at a California train station in 2009. The officer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was shot dead by police in her Louisville home as officers tried to execute a search warrant. No officers have been charged in connection to her death.

Before Crump spoke, an artist came to the podium and painted a portrait of Wright in realtime. When he was done, he was praised with a standing ovation.

Relatives of George Floyd are attending the service.

One of George Floyd's brothers, Terrence Floyd, said he had an "emotional" conversation with Wright's mother.

"Just 11 months, not even a year ago, our family was in the same situation and going day by day," Floyd said on ABC's "The View" Wednesday. "I basically just prayed with her and told -- just consoled her. I did to her what we wanted people to do for us."
