WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The brother of George Floyd, whose death in Minneapolis police custody in May sparked waves of anti-racism protests across the country, will address the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, CNN reported.

Philonise Floyd will provide brief remarks virtually from his home in Texas and there will be a moment of silence for George Floyd, CNN said, during the first night of the convention where former Vice President Joe Biden will be formally named the Democratic presidential nominee in the November election.
