Amsterdam - Strange Fruit
Reggie and Wolfie had met in July 1992 at a cultural event, organized by STRANGE FRUIT, during the VIII International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam.
After he had moved to Amsterdam in April 1994, Reggie became involved with this amazing group of Black and migrant LGBTI and organized many film screenings, discussions and other events with them.
Later he would say that they saved his life. Because they gave Reggie a purpose to go on as an activist!
