SUMMARY:TITAN | The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:TITAN | The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis  \n February 8\, 2025 – April 2026 \nTITAN: The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis offers an in-depth journey into the extraordinary life and lasting legacy of Maryland native\, Reginald Francis Lewis. Widely celebrated as the first African American to establish and lead a billion-dollar company\, Lewis transcended the realm of business as a multifaceted figure—a devoted family man\, skilled lawyer\, and pioneering trailblazer. This exhibition unveils the many elements that define the remarkable life of a maverick. \nTITAN unveils the lesser-known facets of Lewis’ life\, chronicling his rise from a hardworking student to a global business leader whose impact extended far beyond boardrooms. Through personal artifacts\, rare photographs\, and intimate narratives\, visitors will gain insight into the values that shaped his character\, the obstacles he overcame with resilience and strategy\, and the revolutionary spirit that guided his remarkable journey. \nAs the Reginald F. Lewis Museum commemorates its 20th anniversary of amplifying African American narratives in Maryland\, TITAN stands as a powerful tribute to his enduring legacy. The museum\, named in his honor\, was funded by a public/private partnership between the State of Maryland\, a $5 million lead gift from the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation as well as other private funding partners ensured that his mission of empowerment and opportunity continues to inspire future generations. His story remains a beacon of hope\, emphasizing the importance of breaking barriers and striving for excellence. \nPlan Your Visit

SUMMARY:Maryland at 250: The Values That Shape Us (FREEDOM) presents “Freedom Is Not A Moment\, It Is A Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Maryland at 250: The Values That Shape Us (FREEDOM) presents “Freedom Is Not A Moment\, It Is A Movement \nThursday\, April 16th | 6:00 PM-7:30 PM | FREE \nAs Maryland commemorates its 250th anniversary\, the semiquincentennial of the nation’s founding\, this moment calls for more than reflection. It calls for reckoning. In partnership with the Maryland 400 Commission and the Maryland Center for History and Culture\, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture invites you to the opening program in a bold new lecture series examining the values that have defined and challenged the state across two and a half centuries. \nAcclaimed historian Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries will deliver a powerful keynote exploring how Black Marylanders have continuously shaped the meaning of freedom from 1776 to the present. From the self emancipation efforts of Frederick Douglass and the daring leadership of Harriet Tubman\, to the intellectual activism of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and the ongoing work of community organizers\, this lecture traces a long tradition of resistance\, strategy\, and collective action that continues to define Maryland today. \nThis program serves as a signature component of the Lewis Museum’s upcoming exhibition\, The Lines We Cross: 250 Years of Maryland Forging America\, which examines how individuals and communities throughout Maryland’s history have confronted the boundaries of race\, citizenship\, power\, and belonging. Together\, the exhibition and lecture series challenge us to consider: What lines have Marylanders crossed in pursuit of freedom and what lines remain before us? \nAt 250 years\, Maryland’s story is not complete. It is still being written by those willing to question\, to act\, and to carry forward the work of freedom. Join us for an evening of history\, insight\, and purpose and take part in shaping what comes next. \nRegister Here
