George Floyd's daughter has paid tribute to her late father during his family's White House visit.

Floyd's relatives traveled to Washington D.C. on Tuesday, May 25, on the first anniversary of Floyd's murder, which took place last year at the hands of ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin.

According to Sky News, Floyd's seven-year-old daughter Gianna led a passionate chant along with the rest of his family, crying: "Say his name!" in a testament to his legacy.

Gianna was accompanied on her visit by her uncles, Philonise and Terrance Floyd, her mother Roxie Washington, her aunt Bridgett and Philonise's wife Keeta.

President Joe Biden spoke about his meeting with the family in a later statement made on Twitter, writing to his 11.3 million followers:

"Earlier today in the Oval Office, I met with George Floyd’s family. They’ve shown extraordinary courage over the last year, especially his young daughter Gianna, who I met again today.

"The day before her father’s funeral, she told me: 'Daddy changed the world'. He has."

Per People, Floyd's brother Philonise commented on the meeting in a later press briefing, stating: "It was great. [Biden's] a genuine guy.

"They always speak from the heart and it's a pleasure just to be able to have the chance to meet with him when we have the opportunity to."

Meanwhile, his other brother Terrance later told reporters: "Being here today is an honor."

He went on: "To meet with the president and the vice president and for them to show concern for our family and for them to actually give an ear to our concerns and how we feel [about] the situation.

"I'm grateful for that [...] I think genuinely he wanted to know exactly how we were doing and what he could do to support us."

NBC News reports that the family also met with Nancy Pelosi and several other Democrat and Republican senators, to discuss the subjects of police reform and racial profiling in the United States.

Senators Cory Booker and Tim Scott, as well as Representative Karen Bass, are currently spearheading the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, aimed at ending the use of chokeholds and carotid holds, and improving police procedures.
