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:The Life and Times of Hattie Sewell
DESCRIPTION:In 1920\, an African-American woman named Hattie Sewell applied for a concession to run the teahouse at Peirce Mill. She won the contract\, paid a fee of $45 a month\, and increased business at the teahouse.\n\n\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 Ms. Sewell’s establishment. Nevertheless\, her contract was terminated in 1921. \n\n\n\nOne hundred years later\, the Friends of Peirce Mill and Rock Creek Park are working with students from Howard University to learn more about Hattie Sewell. A short film about her life and times will be completed by the fall of 2021. \nThis virtual conversation\, part of a series of opportunities to explore the history of Rock Creek Park and NW Washington\, DC\, is organized by Rock Creek Park\, Rock Creek Conservancy\, and the Friends of Peirce Mill. It will feature Dr. Amy Yeboah\, associate professor in the Department of Afro American Studies at Howard University\, and two Howard University students\, Yanava S. Ferreria and Asan Hawkins. Education Director Angela Kramer from the Friends of Peirce Mill will serve as moderator. \n\nPlease click here to register for this free virtual event!\n \n  \n  \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. \n
