Helen Muir’s Miami Tea Parties

I am working on one of my papers for the 2015 Florida Conference of Historians that I will be presenting next month in Lakeland. It’s called “Miami Maven Helen Muir: Writer, Historian, Advocate & Tea Party Host.” I went through Muir’s papers at the University of Miami a few years ago.

Muir held annual tea parties for her friends who sometimes came from across the country to reunite. In this photo are women’s page journalists Marie Anderson and Dorothy Jurney.
