The Reverends Addie and Claude Wyatt, Jr. were fixtures of the American Civil Rights movement through the second half of the 20th century. Addie began her career working with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America in Chicago in 1941. Together they founded Chicago’s Vernon Park Church of God in 1956, and for the next twelve years were closely associated with Dr. Martin Luther King’s peace movement, joining him at the March on Washington in 1963, the Selma to Montgomery Marches in 1965, and the Chicago demonstration in 1966. In the early 1960s Eleanor Roosevelt appointed Addie to a position on the Labor Legislation Committee on the United States Commission on the Status of Women. A vital force in the arena of labor rights, she founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women in 1974. The following year she and Barbara Jordan became the first African American women to be honored as Persons of the Year by Time Magazine. Claude Wyatt, Jr. served as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s Chicago director of the Ministerial Leadership Movement and as a board member of People United to Serve Humanity (PUSH).
