What is Lucy Hayes remembered for?

Answer 1

Lucy Webb Hayes was the first president's wife to be called "First Lady". She was also called, "Lemonade Lucy," because of her decision not to serve alcohol at the White House. Lucy started the tradition, the Easter egg roll. She was the First presidential wife to be college educated. Lucy worked for veterans' benefits, Native American welfare, rehabilitation of the South (after the civil war), and young people while in the White House. She made frequent trips to Gallaudet College (supporting various students), the National Deaf Mute College, and the Hampton Institute (where she sponsored a scholarship for Native American students). She contributed to Washington charities, and often sent servants on nightly errands delivering a note and money to someone in need.
