BALTIMORE, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture is proud to announce that its highly anticipated exhibit, "TITAN: The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis," is now open. The vast display honoring the museum's namesake, who was the first African American to run a billion-dollar business, will be available to view until April 2026.
TITAN is presented by Grain Management and IMB Partners, sponsored by Neutron Engineering, and supported by Daniel L. Black, and was unveiled with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, February 7, 2025, followed by a free Community Day on Saturday, February 8, 2025. Over opening weekend, the Lewis Museum hosted approximately 1,400 visitors.
TITAN offers viewers a thoughtful look into the life of Reginald F. Lewis, who came from a working-class family in Baltimore and ascended the ranks of business to become the richest Black American man in the 1980s before his untimely passing in 1993 from brain cancer.
Not only does the museum celebrate its namesake with TITAN, but the exhibit is especially significant as it marks the museum's 100th exhibition and opens during the Museum's 20th anniversary celebration. A yearlong slate of programs, events, and community engagements is planned to honor this milestone.
Terri Lee Freeman, President of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, emphasized the importance of the exhibit in both preserving history and inspiring the future. "As we celebrate our 20th anniversary and unveil our 100th exhibition, this moment is especially meaningful," said Freeman. "Reginald F. Lewis was a trailblazer, maverick and titan who changed the landscape for Black entrepreneurs, and this exhibit is a testament to his vision, determination and hard work."
"TITAN: The Legacy of Reginald F. Lewis" is now open to the public and offers an in-depth look at Lewis's groundbreaking achievements, from his historic billion-dollar business deal to his lasting contributions to economic empowerment. Visitors can explore artifacts, multimedia presentations, and inspiring stories that celebrate the man whose legacy continues to shape generations. The exhibit will be on view through April of 2026.
