Reverend Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, the mother of Charles Southern outfielder Chris Singleton, was one of the nine people murdered on Wednesday night at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, SC.
Speaking less than 24 hours after the death of his mom, Singleton gave an uplifting speech to reporters that was incredibly poised considering the tragedy he is going through:
“My mom was a god-fearing woman. She loved everybody with all her heart … Love is always stronger than hate.
