| Summary: | Between 1917 and 1933, the National Catholic War Council/Welfare Council/Welfare Conference (NCWC) was well aware of the plight of Black Catholics in the era of Jim Crow. Professor Thomas Wyatt Turner of Washington, DC, founded a committee which transformed into the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States to press for equal rights of Blacks within the NCWC and its assistance in promoting them within the church nationally. The bishops of the NCWC Administrative Committee and Father John J. Burke, CSP, its general secretary, pledged their good will to Black Catholics but made desultory efforts at affiliating them with the NCWC, efforts that failed for various reasons. Just when success seemed within grasp, the Federation imploded. |
