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.
