Sean Combs, better known as "Diddy," will be honored with the first Reginald F. Lewis Award this Sunday, July 6th. The award will commemorate Lewis' legacy as the first African-American billionaire. "Mr. Combs, like my husband, came from humble beginnings and has become internationally successful," said Loida Lewis, the wife of the late Reginald Lewis. "My husband was the Jackie Robinson of finance, he broke the ceiling. Now he's inspiration to contemporary black business men and this event will bring awareness to his legacy."
Diddy will be honored along with philanthropists Frank and Lolita Savage who will be inducted into the Reginald F. Lewis Museum Millennium Circle. Loida Lewis will present the awards at her Hampton Estate and all proceeds from the event will go to the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation.
