Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, thanked supporters on Saturday, who she says have not wavered in their support in the seven years since her son died.

"I thank you all for still being here and being here today," said Carr.

Saturday marked the grim anniversary of his final moments that were caught on cell phone video

His death in police custody sparked outrage around the city and country.

The memorial got its start at the National Action Network in Manhattan, then made its way to Staten Island, where the family and supporters gathered just steps from where Garner was put in a chokehold by an NYPD officer and said his final words: “I can’t breathe.”

Carr says her life has never been the same after becoming a member to a group she never wanted to join - Black mothers who have lost their children at the hands of police.

The Mothers of the Movement, as they are known, were there to show their support, as Carr continues her quest for justice for her son.

The now former officer who placed Garner in the chokehold was never put on trial. He was fired from the NYPD. Carr continues to push for accountability in the case.

“We've got a session on Monday where a judge threw out the appeal of the police officers, so we are going forward and we are hoping that we get more justice than we have gotten. I just pray to God that we do,” Carr said.

Her grandson, Eric Garner Jr. says the death of his father brought attention to racial inequality.

“Ain’t nothing good about killing Black men on camera, but one thing that I could say that I see progress in, is the conviction in the George Floyd case," said Garner Jr.

He says he wishes his dad could see that progress and more.

"I miss him a lot. I wish he was here. I wish he was there to see me walk down the aisle, graduation, what man he raised, what man I'm becoming," Garner Jr. said.
