TITAN: The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis offers an in-depth journey into the extraordinary life and lasting legacy of Maryland native, Reginald Francis Lewis.

As 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.
