Afternoon EqualiTEA

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Lucy Burns Museum will host Afternoon EqualiTEA to honor the suffragists and their fight for the right to vote. Tea and tea parties are deeply ingrained in the history of the woman’s suffrage movement, from planning to fundraising. Tea enthusiast Nancy Rodriguez of Cup & Crown shares the history of tea from England to the US and how the suffragists incorporated it into their cause, while participants enjoy a variety of black teas and sweet* accompaniments. A special tour of the Lucy Burns Museum, with its exhibition commemorating the suffragists who were imprisoned at the Workhouse in 1917, follows the tea.
