2:47Now PlayingPhilonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, says that he's speaking before a House congressional committee to get justice for his late brother.
"I love my brother. He's still here in spirit right now. And we need justice and we demand justice," Floyd said.
Floyd and Benjamin Crump, the attorney for the Floyd family spoke to reporters on Capitol Hill before taking a lunch break from the House Judiciary Hearing that they are testifying before.
Crump said that the tragic death of George Floyd while under police custody offers the "best opportunity" he has seen to "get real change, systematic reform to affect how police treat people of color, especially black people."
Floyd's appearance before a House hearing came a day after funeral services for his brother, the 46-year-old Minnesota man whose death has become a worldwide symbol in demonstrations over calls for changes to police practices and an end to racial prejudices.
An unarmed African-American man killed last month while in the custody of the Minneapolis police, George Floyd's death has sparked ongoing protest and outrage across the country.
