It's been decades since Reginald Reed Jr., known as Reggie, last saw his mother Selonia Reed. Reggie Reed (reading from book): Within these pages, you will find the memories of a 6-year-old boy whose mother was murdered … A 15-year-old young man searching for his place in the world without the guidance and encouragement of his mother … Reggie Reed (reading from book): My father grabbed me up into a big hug. … I wanted to stay there forever … he pulled back for a moment, looked me in the eyes and kissed me on the forehead. … We embraced once more, and then, they took him away from me.
Reggie Reed: After my mother was murdered, things moved fast … I couldn't really understand, like, why would somebody kill her? Like, what did she do?
Reggie Reed: I feel like I missed out on a huge part of life that I'll never get back.
