I’m Alan Reese, CEO of Frederick D. Reese Foundation and Reese Enterprise Corp. My
grandfather, the Rev. Dr. Frederick D Reese, was a civil rights icon who was the one who
officially invited Dr. Martin Luther King Jr to Selma Alabama to assist in the movement for the
right to vote. Dr. Reese is also responsible for coordinating and leading the first all teachers
march anywhere in the world, one of a mountain of accolades and accomplishments he
managed to procure during his lifetime. Through the mantle of CEO, I’ve been able to ensure
that his legacy continues via the foundation by awarding scholarships to students and
organizing humanitarian and educational efforts in the community. While performing my role at
Reese Enterprise the company continues to release books and history on apparel, as well as
forthcoming projects that will tell the sometimes mixed up and even forgotten stories of those
that gave the ultimate sacrifice for the progression of the African American community. All of
these efforts will ensure the goals of these companies which is reflective ovalues of my
grandfather, to make sure we’re spreading the story and message of Dr. F.D. Reese whilst
delivering world class customer service to those who patronize us.
