A mourner sits next to a candle display during a vigil for Tyre Nichols on Jan. 30 at Regency Community Skatepark in Sacramento, Calif. Nichols was an avid skateboarder and used to frequent the park.
The funeral for Tyre Nichols is set to be held in Memphis on Wednesday, roughly three weeks after he died following a beating by police that was caught on video and sparked a wave of protests and calls for accountability nationwide. The Rev. Al Sharpton will deliver Nichols' eulogy, and Ben Crump, an attorney for Nichols' family, will give a"call to action," organizers said.
