Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is handling all the expenses for the funeral.
“We celebrate a life that had its ups and downs as many lives do but also a life that was connected to God and one that all people around the world have now connected to because of the tragedy and the trauma by which he passed,” Wright said.
“And so we want to have a home-going celebration, we want to remember his name,” she added.
Wright said the service will include multiple speakers — including civil rights leaders who will “have a call to justice, a call for social reform.”
“It is so important that we move forward from here from a place of healing and wholeness because if we expect change to happen in our community, we can’t come from anger and hurt and loss,” she said. “We have to learn how to move as a whole unit.”
Tuesday’s service will be limited to 500 people.
