Son of 9/11 Victim Honors Mother’s Legacy With New Book

Elizabeth Holmes was a single mother working at the World Trade Center when the unthinkable happened on 9/11. Her son, Reverend Travis Boyd, is now preserving her legacy with his book “The Purse She Left Behind.” He talks about the significance of her purse, his relationship with Reverend Al Sharpton, and how he has dealt with the immeasurable loss. “My story isn’t defined by tragedy, it’s defined by the vision my mother had for me,” he says.
