A group of white Texans begged Black Lives Matter to forgive them for years of racism.
Crowds gathered in Houston to pray for George Floyd's family, after his death in police custody in Minneapolis. During the service, the white attendees knelt in front of their black neighbours and prayed for forgiveness and reconciliation. Many were brought to tears by the humbling act.
Protests in Houston, where George Floyd grew up, have not been as violent as in many other US cities, but even so, police there arrested 100 people for various public order offences just before the prayer service.
