a “museum and training center” in Irving, alongside David Barton, a Christian conservative activist and founder of WallBuilders. The museum encourages guests to “take an active role in defending the American Journey.”
The archive spans the width and breadth of the legal fight to establish a constitutional right to abortion: the receipt for the $15 fee to file the original suit; the notarized affidavit from Norma McCorvey, identified in the suit as Jane Roe; and the quill pens given to Coffee for the honor of arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Before they went up for auction, these documents and artifacts were loosely maintained by Coffee and her partner, Rebecca Hartt, at their home in Mineola. Hartt had filed many of them into binders and taped others onto poster boards hung around their home.

Weddington died in 2020 and after a near-death experience with West Nile Virus, Coffee started grappling with the idea of protecting her legacy.
