BALTIMORE, Md. — As a way to enhance student-athlete development and the student-athlete experience at Morgan State, MSU Athletics has partnered with the historic Reginald F. Lewis Museum. A staple in the city of Baltimore, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum will host virtual educational programming for incoming MSU student-athletes during MSU Athletics’ annual Summer Bridge program.
The programming will provide the student-athletes with a historical context of the city of Baltimore and black entrepreneurship, carrying on the legacy of Reginald F. Lewis- one of the country’s most successful entrepreneurs.
“The Lewis Museum is pleased to be in partnership with the Athletics Department of Morgan State University. While the museum is temporarily closed due to COVID-19, the virtual educational experience the museum developed for incoming student-athletes, affirms the value and importance of Maryland African American history preserved and documented by the museum.”
