Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Not to be confused Шаблон:Infobox organization Boston Mutual Lyceum was an African American lyceum organization[1] founded in 1833.[2]

Organization

It included women and had a female vice-president. Two of five managers were also women.[2] The Adelphic Union was an African American literary society in Boston at the same time.[3]

Officers were: Dudley Tidd, president; Joel W. Lewis, 1st vice-president; Sarah H. Annible, 2nd vice-president; Nath Cutler, secretary; and Thomas Dalton, treasurer. Managers were Joseph H. Gover, John B. Cutler, Henry Carroll, Lucy V. Lew, and Mary Williams. Josiah Holbrook helped organize the group.[1]

Tidd was a laborer[4] who became a property owner along with Dalton, who had been a bootblack.

The abolitionist newspaper The Liberator published by William Lloyd Garrison published a brief notice of the formation of the group listing its officers and managers.[5]

A Lew family history is known and she may have become Thomas Dalton's wife, known as Lucy Lew Dalton. Lucy Lew Dalton is part of the Boston Women's Heritage Trail.[6]
