As a priest in the southern United States, Gray was best known for his work as a civil rights activist; his story was included in the University of Southern Mississippi's Civil Rights Digital Archive.[1][2]

Gray's father, Duncan M. Gray, Sr., and his son, Duncan M. Gray, III, are respectively the fifth and ninth Bishops of the Diocese of Mississippi.

He is the subject of a book by Will D. Campbell, And Also With You: Duncan Gray and the American Dilemma.
