In celebration of what would have been Lucy Burn's 146th birthday, the Lorton Prison Museum featuring the Lucy Burns Gallery hosts an afternoon EqualiTEA to honor Lucy Burns and other 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.
