The Reginald F. Lewis Museum is proud to announce the opening of its newest touchpoint satellite gallery exhibition on September 19, 2025 at The Village at Mondawmin!

The Lewis at Mondawmin is a satellite gallery space created to extend the reach, impact, and presence of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture into the heart of the community. Located inside The Village at Mondawmin—a historic shopping center and civic hub for West Baltimore—this new exhibit space offers an accessible, community-rooted platform for rotating exhibitions and interactive displays that celebrate Maryland’s rich African American history and culture.

Blacks In White: African American Health Professionals highlights the vital contributions of Black healthcare professionals and institutions in Maryland, with a focus on West Baltimore. Spanning the late 19th and 20th centuries, the exhibit features pioneering institutions such as Provident Hospital, the Helene Fuld Nursing School, and Young’s Pharmacy, as well as the leaders behind them, including Dr. Howard E. Young and Dr. Nellie Louis Young. In the face of systemic and medical racism, these professionals provided essential care, trained future generations of nurses, and built institutions that served communities often denied access to quality healthcare. Emerging from a vibrant, resilient West Baltimore, their legacy reflects the power of community, dedication, and the ongoing pursuit of health equity for all.
