“Grievances at the treatment she received”: Harriet E. Wilson's Spiritualist Career in Boston, 1868–1900.

The essay discusses African-American author Harriet E. Wilson's involvement in the U.S. spiritualist movement in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late-19th century. Wilson worked as a medium in Boston following the publication of her novel "Our Nig," as evidenced by references to the author in the spiritualist newspaper "Banner of Light." The novelist's spiritualist lecture tours are explained, as is her work with the Children's Progressive Lyceum. She also later started her own lyceum.
