Terry Willis began his walk in memory of George Floyd and for justice and equality on June 2, covering many of the nearly 1,000 miles by himself.
He had plenty of company Sunday when he covered the final steps between Bloomington and the memorial at 38th and Chicago in south Minneapolis.
"It's all type of emotions," said Willis, exiting a silver SUV onto a parking lot in front of the Mall of America, with hundreds cheering him and chanting his name.
"What I want to do right now is walk with my people," he said.
The walk began a week after Floyd's death, and included stops in Louisville, Kent. and Ferguson, Mo.
Breonna Taylor and Michael Brown died at the hands of police in those cities.
"I feel great, I feel good," said Willis, leaning on his walking stick and receiving scores of well-wishes in the bright sunshine. "I feel all the love, I feel all the support from my people. Right here. Right now. It's real and it's love.
Willis says he walked for change and justice, and he wants everyone to be seen as equals.
