Addie Hunton and the Construction of an African American Female Peace Perspective

School of Social Work, University of Nevada, Reno

Addie Hunton, a major 20th-century African American social welfare professional, served in France with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Sobered and politicized by the experience of war and the prejudice that she witnessed, Hunton dedicated the remainder of her life to fighting for peace and racial justice. Her work, which both mirrored and differed from the contributions of peace-minded women social workers such as Jane Addams and Jeannette Rankin, unfolded a dialectic between social service work and peace that argued that global peace is impossible without "right local relations," that is, dignity, equality, and well-being for all people.
