ALL OF WHICH I SAW, PART OF WHICH I WAS

by George K. & Gary MacEoin Hunton ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 14, 1967

This is the autobiography of the man who was a large force behind the establishment of social relations between Negroes and whites within the modern American Catholic church. It is told in a rambling, gentle fashion that is neither exciting nor profound and few people without a parochial interest or abiding concern for the history of race relations in our country will read it. Beginning his law career with the Legal Aid in Harlem, Hunton's concern for the plight of the American black man never abated. He committed himself to the struggle of upgrading the institutions and opportunities for Negroes inside the Catholic Church as well as the society at large. In the company of Father John La Farge, a better-known Church figure, layman Hunton sensed a mission that he could not put aside. He was instrumental in setting up the Catholic Interracial Councils and during the course of his life's work he met and became friends with most of the outstanding humanitarians of his time. His modest story proves that in his way he ranked among them.
