This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Hennacy, Ammon".
Ammon Hennacy writes as the Director of the Joseph Hill House of Hospitality and St. Joseph's Refuge. The house fed the hungry and commemorated Joe Hill, who was a labor leader accused of murder (some say framed) and executed by the state of Utah in 1915. Hennacy was a pacifist and advocate for prisoners on death row. He converted to Catholicism in 1952 and shortly after served as an associate editor in New York for the Catholic Worker until moving to Salt Lake City and founding Joseph Hill House in 1961.
