THE RIGHT TO VOTE. THE POWER TO MAKE HISTORY.

Maryland, TODAY is the deadline to register to vote online ahead of the November 3 General Election!

For generations, Black Marylanders fought to make their voices heard, challenge barriers and claim their rightful place in the political process.

From Victorine Q. Adams organizing Black women voters in Baltimore to Verda Freeman Welcome and Irma Dixon breaking barriers in the Maryland House of Delegates in 1958, our state’s political history is filled with trailblazers who helped pave the way for greater representation.

Their stories remind us that the right to vote carries a history of struggle, determination and progress.

📍 At The Lewis Museum, these stories and so many more are preserved through historic campaign materials, photographs and artifacts that bring Maryland’s Black political history to life.

History is worth knowing. Your voice is worth using.

⏰ Register to vote online by 11:59 PM TONIGHT, October 13, or check your registration status at elections.maryland.gov.

And make plans to visit The Lewis to discover the people and movements that helped shape the Maryland we know today.

We’re OPEN today, and we’ve got a story worth sharing!

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re looking at history through the legacy of Baltimore’s own Mother Mary Carter Smith.

Known for preserving Black history through storytelling, Mother Mary understood the importance of keeping stories alive for future generations.

Among the treasures she gifted to The Lewis were two books exploring Indigenous history and storytelling: Focus on People: The First Americans and Weavers of Tales.

Her gift reminds us that preserving history means honoring stories beyond our own and recognizing the people and cultures that continue to shape our world.

Spend part of your Indigenous Peoples’ Day with us at The Lewis, where there’s always another story to discover!

The pride. The traditions. The memories. The LEGACY! 💙🧡🐻

There’s just something special about Morgan State University!

From the energy of the yard and the spirit of generations of Morganites who have walked these grounds, Morgan’s story is deeply woven into the fabric of Baltimore and Black history.

As we celebrate Morgan Homecoming, we’re taking a trip down memory lane with a few moments from the university’s rich history. 📸

And the history doesn’t stop on the yard! Come visit us at The Lewis Museum, where we celebrate and share the stories of Black Marylanders, their communities, and the institutions that helped shape our culture.

Happy Homecoming, Morgan State! 🐻💙🧡

How many Morganites have crossed this bridge without knowing the history behind it?

Meet Verda Freeman Welcome, a proud Morgan State University alumna who made history as the first Black woman elected to both the Maryland House of Delegates and the Maryland State Senate.

A trailblazer in Maryland politics, Welcome spent decades challenging discrimination, opening doors and creating opportunities for Black Marylanders.

So this Homecoming, when you cross the Verda Freeman Welcome Bridge, remember: you’re walking across more than campus. You’re walking across a legacy.

And there’s more to her story waiting for you at The Lewis! ❤️💛🖤

A special thanks to Mister and Miss Morgan State University! 🧡💙

WEAA 88.9 FM been making noise for a long time. 🎙️🐻

Since 1977, WEAA 88.9 FM has been more than a radio station. It’s been a training ground for generations of Morgan students, a home for Black voices and a place where music, news, culture and community meet.

And the name says it all: We Educate African Americans.

From Kweisi Mfume to April D. Ryan, Kevin Frazier, joeclair — and a whole lot of Morganites in between — the legacy runs deep. 📻

As WEAA gets ready to celebrate 50 years, we stopped by the station to talk history, legacy and what’s next.

Happy Homecoming, Morgan State University! 💙🧡 And WEAA, keep the mic ON! 🎙️

What can one object tell us about generations of Black history?

The Blackwell Family Quilt carries a story of family, memory and survival. From ancestors who endured slavery to generations who stepped into freedom and carried their family story forward.

Over the next few weeks, we’re taking you deeper into the objects, people and stories that make this exhibition come alive.

First up: a family history stitched across generations.
