Tuesday marks one year since former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd, 46, by kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during an arrest. 

Floyd’s family is in D.C. on the anniversary of the death to call on lawmakers to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. 

Floyd’s death among others led to nationwide protests on social justice and police reform in the country.

Jones also released a song called “The Bigger Picture” during that time which earned him Grammy nominations for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.
