As for today, the campus of North Central University in Minneapolis, where Floyd resided at the time of his death, is hosting the first of the memorial services taking place across the country.

His birth town of Raeford, North Carolina, will host a viewing and memorial on Saturday. Floyd's body will then arrive in Houston on Sunday.
