Black Enterprise Founder and Publisher Earl Graves will be among a group of black executives gathering in Baltimore tomorrow evening to remember the accomplishments of the late Reginald F. Lewis, the first African American to gain controlling ownership in a billion-dollar enterprise — TLC Beatrice Foods.
Graves, who lives in Scarsdale, will be joined by BET founder Robert L. Johnson and American Express Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Chenault, among others.
The event is being held at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture.
Lewis, who died in 1993 from brain cancer, would have been 65 this month.
