The City of Tampa will join cities across the nation tonight to light up Old City Hall crimson and gold in remembrance of George Floyd. Crimson and Gold are the colors of George Floyd’s Alma mater, Jack Yates High School.

 

During a conference call with the US Conference of Mayors, Houston Mayor, Sylvester Turner, called on mayors across the country to light up their City Halls to honor George Floyd, whose final interment will take place in Houston on Tuesday.
