Please join us this Wednesday, May 26, at 5:00pm for a virtual discussion of "The Life and Times of Hattie Sewell."
Learn more about Hattie Sewell, an African American woman who ran the teahouse at Peirce Mill. In 1921, her contract was canceled after E.S. Newman, a prominent neighbor, complained that the mill was becoming "a rendezvous for colored people, soon developing into a nuisance."
One hundred years later, the Friends of Peirce Mill are working with students from Howard University to research Hattie Sewell's life and times. This Wednesday, find out what we've learned so far.
