Friday, November 30, 2012 marked the 25th Anniversary of the purchase of Beatrice International Foods by Reginald F. Lewis. The acquisition by Lewis, at a cost of $985 million dollars, cast the normally publicity shy Lewis into the international spotlight and made the world his arena. Not bad for a guy who grew up in whathe once described as a "semi-tough" neighborhood in Baltimore, MD. In Keep Going No Matter What--The Reginald F. Lewis Legacy: 20 Years Later, numerous individuals--some who knew Reginald F. Lewis and others who were inspired by his book "Why Should white Guys Have All the Fun?" How Reginald Lewis Created a Billion-Dollar Business Empire --share their compelling stories about how his lifeimpacted theirs.
