The theme for 2017 focuses on the crucial role of education in the history of African Americans.

More recently, Lewis has begun focusing his attention to what he believes is the single most prevailing issue of our time that faces black Americans, which is mass incarceration and the collateral effects that it has had and continues to have on communities of color, specifically, the African-American community, as well as issues regarding teenage pregnancy and the devastating consequences that it creates, along with the declining health of African American men due to prostate cancer and heart disease.
