Long Island University named the Pratt Building’s First Floor Hallway in honor of UniWorld Group Founder and Chairman, and former LIU Board of Trustee member, Emeritus Byron Lewis ’53 and his remarkable career. Dubbed the “original king of Black media” by the New York Times, Lewis founded the advertising agency UniWorld Group in 1969 and went on to secure an array of high-profile clients, including Mars Inc., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, AT&T and Ford Motor Company.
