George Floyd’s death has affected lives across the world. His passing, which was preventable, has helped those who are white open their eyes to the amount of racism that’s still in this world. So many authorities still view black people as a constant threat, when most of them just want to have the same rights as everyone. Hopefully, George’s story will bring about real change in the world.

The only thing sadder than the what went down that day has been the response of George’s young daughter. Young Gianna is only six years old, but now has to navigate life without a father. CNN chatted with Gianna’s mother, Roxie Washington, to learn more about how she’s feeling after such a big loss.

From that interview, they learned that George had moved from Houston to Minneapolis to have a better life. He figured the move would better help him provide for his family. Roxie said that at first, she couldn’t explain to Gianna what had happened. “She wanted to know how he died,” Roxie said. “The only thing I can tell her is, he couldn’t breathe.”

As time goes on, Gianna will eventually learn that her father died for change. And if she has any questions, she could always talk to Dr. Bernice King. Bernice’s father was Martin Luther King Jr., and she knows just how Gianna feels.
