SUMMARY:Virtual Hattie Sewell Film Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Please join Friends of Peirce Mill online for a premiere of the new film about Hattie Sewell\, an African American woman who ran the teahouse at Peirce Mill exactly 100 years ago. In October 1921\, a neighbor’s racist complaints led to the cancelation of Sewell’s contract to run the teahouse. \nA century later\, the Friends of Peirce Mill worked with the National Park Service and students from Howard University to learn more about Hattie Sewell and to create a short film about her life and times. This event will build off the earlier program in the series exploring the intersection of race and history in Rock Creek Park. \nThis event is free\, but reservations are required. \nREGISTER HERE\nThe virtual premiere will begin with a brief introduction on Zoom. Participants will be given a link to watch the 30-minute film on YouTube. Afterwards\, we’ll return to Zoom for questions and answers. \n  \nThis project was supported by a grant from HumanitiesDC as part of the “Humanities Grant Program\,” an initiative funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

SUMMARY:Hattie Sewell Film Premiere
DESCRIPTION:The Hattie Sewell Film Premiere has been re-scheduled for Friday\, October 22! \nThis outdoor\, socially-distant film screening is free\, but reservations are required.  \nScreening 1: 5:45-7:15 pm  Click here to reserve. \nScreening 2: 7:30-9:00pm  Click here to reserve. \nThe 30-minute film will be shown during two separate screenings on Friday\, October 22. The first group will be welcomed at Peirce Mill starting at 6:00 for a 6:45 showing. The second group is asked to arrive after 7:30 for an 8:15 screening.  \n\n\n\nWho Was Hattie Sewell? \nIn the summer of 1920\, an African American woman named Hattie Sewell was awarded a contract to run the teahouse at Peirce Mill. She paid a monthly rent of $45 and increased business by two hundred percent. \nBut a prominent neighbor\, E.S. Newman\, complained that Peirce Mill had become “a rendezvous for colored people\, soon developing into a nuisance.” According to Rock Creek Park’s Administrative History\, there were no other complaints about Sewell’s establishment. Nevertheless\, her contract was terminated in October 1921. \nOne hundred years later\, the Friends of Peirce Mill are working with the National Park Service and Howard University to learn more about Hattie Sewell and to create a short film about her life and times. \nFor more information\, please contact Angela Kramer\, education@friendsofpeircemill.org \n  \nThis project was supported by a grant from HumanitiesDC as part of the “Humanities Grant Program\,” an initiative funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
