“I came from Northport, Alabama, I was reared by my grandmother, and we didn’t have a nickel or a nail, and I made up my mind that I wanted to make some money,” he said. “I didn’t want to do anything else but make some money.”

Lewis turns 100 years old today, but his life is a story of milestones that overshadow the centenarian’s birthday. Lewis’ career includes several firsts, including one of the first Blacks to serve on a state-wide cabinet and the founder of one of the first Black-owned advertising and marketing agency.

Discover the highs and lows of Visionland's journey, from its grand opening to its eventual decline and rebirth as Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure.
