AccessibilityThis park is named in honor of Maritcha R. Lyons (1848-1929), an American educator, civic leader, suffragist, and public speaker in New York City. She taught in Brooklyn public schools for 48 years and was the second Black woman to serve the Brooklyn school system as an assistant principal.
Throughout her life, Lyons fought for women’s right to vote and was a member of the Colored Women’s Equal Suffrage League of Brooklyn. She died in 1929 in Brooklyn, leaving a legacy of advancing women’s rights and racial justice.
