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:Theater Reading Presentation: Mrs. Richardson presented by Morgan State Theater
DESCRIPTION:Performance Reading: Mrs. Richardson presented by Theatre Morgan \nSaturday\, March 8 | 1 pm  \nWhen freedom riders arrived in Cambridge\, Maryland in the early winter of 1962\, Gloria Richardson\, a forty-year-old single mother\, was busy working in her family store and raising her two teenaged girls.   Upset by the brutal arrest of activists\, as well as her daughters’ growing disillusionment\, Richardson accepted an offer to co-chair the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee\, which had organized staged sit-ins to protest racial discrimination. \nCelebrate Women’s History Month  through a performance reading of Mrs. Richardson written by playwright historian Dr. Peter Levy and presented by Theatre Morgan students of Morgan State University.  In less than three years\, she helped build one of the most vibrant local movements in the nation\, compelled the Kennedy administration to negotiate an unprecedented treaty agreement\, which provided jobs\, housing\, and desegregated public accommodations\, and established a collaborative project with Malcolm X.  Richardson was also one of seven “Negro Women Fighters for Freedom” officially recognized and seated on the stage of the 1963 March on Washington.  \nThis program is in conjunction with iWitness: Media and the Movement \nRegister Here
