Remembering Jordan Neely: Funeral and Eulogy in Harlem
Jordan Neely, a homeless street artist who died from a chokehold on a New York City subway, was mourned at his funeral in Harlem. Neely was known for his Michael Jackson impersonations and had experienced mental health issues since his mother's murder in 2007. The incident has sparked protests and calls for accountability while refocusing attention on struggles with homelessness and mental illness across America. The man who restrained Neely, Daniel Penny, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and released on bail. Neely's death has prompted Reverend Al Sharpton to work towards changing the circumstances of those experiencing homelessness and mental health issues.
