Today… could be the birthday of Hattie Sewell, but thing is, she was a Black woman born in the U.S. in 1883 so Google was giving me only so much. What I do know: In 1920, Hattie was awarded the contract to run the teahouse that was then housed at Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park, and by all accounts increased the business by 200% in just a year.
