Description: Addle Waites Hunton (1875-1943) was an activist for the rights of African Americans during the first half of the twentieth century. Her biography of her husband, William Alphaeus Hunton, an executive for the YMCA and the first black secretary of the international committee of that organization, was published in 1938.

After her husband's death in 1916, Hunton became involved in the YMCA's work abroad serving black troops during World War I; Two Colored Women with the American Expeditionary Forces (1920) is her memoir of these experiences, written with her co-worker Kathryn Johnson.
