Ulysses B. Vidal was listed as a delegate from Pennsylvania at the 1855 National Colored Convention. Although he was a relatively new Pennsylvanian at this point (having lived in New York, New York, up until sometime in the 1840s), he quickly became a very prominent and involved member of the community.<\/p>\n

From 1839 to 1841, he immersed himself in community activism. In 1839, he was on the Committee of Arrangements that threw a fundraiser to help the captives on a ship called the Armistead who were on trial for piracy and murder.[note]\u201cNotice – public exhibition.\u201d The Colored American,<\/em> 14 September 1839. Accessible Archives.<\/em>[\/note] In 1840, he was President of the Societe des Amis Reuni, a political club, and was chosen as a delegate to go to a colored convention hosted in his hometown.[note]\u201cAt an extra meeting of societe’ des amis reuni.\u201dThe Colored American<\/em>, 29 August 1840. Accessible Archives.<\/em>[\/note] The Committee of the New York Delegation appointed Ulysses among twenty-seven other men to attend the Troy Convention as a delegate in 1841. There he debated with \u201chigh ability\u201d at the New York Philomathean Society, arguing that foreign lands were not the legitimate field for American missions.[note]J. \u201cCity Matters.\u201d The Colored American, <\/em>24 July 1841.

Vidal married a woman named Anna, the niece of Harriet Lee Smith,\u00a0Stephen Smith\u2019s wife. The Vidals had two children, Athian and Mary.\u00a0Anna Vidal was active in the Black community as well: she was a member of the Ladies\u2019 Sanitary Association of St. Thomas\u2019s African Episcopal Church (LSASTC), which was established in 1863.[note]Ella Forbes. African American Women During the Civil War.<\/em> (New York, Garland). Link<\/a>[\/note] Along with Eliza Ann Bias, Harriet Smith, Ann Van Brackle (the wife of Samuel Van Brackle), and Mary Wears Dorsey, Anna Vidal helped raise funds to aid African American soldiers and other charitable institutions.[note]Ibid.[\/note] The Vidals lived at 880 Lombard and 429 N Broad in the late 1860s and moved to 830 Lombard in 1870, where Ulysses Vidal remained until his death in 1877.[note]\u201cU B Vidal.\u201d Ancestry.com.\u00a0Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Death Certificates Index, 1803-1915<\/em> [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011.[\/note] Fire insurance records show that Henrietta Duterte would later move into the same house. Robert Purvis’ home was nearby, which he used as a refuge for fugitives. It is likely that the Vidals also aided fugitive slaves, although there is no record to confirm this.<\/p>\n
