- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents of the Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity (ESCRU). Contents include a letter from ESCRU director John B. Morris to Joseph I. Rauh, Jr. of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and a report produced by ESCRU to provide guidelines for the response of the Episcopal Church to urban unrest. Also includes an open letter of African American Episcopal clergy to Church leadership, calling for racial equality in Church institutions.
The records, 1964-1979, of the Southern Office of the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department consist primarily of correspondence and related reports, surveys, statements, and newspaper clippings. Much of the correspondence is between Director E.T. (Al) Kehrer and various AFL-CIO departments, notably his superiors Don Slaiman (1965-1974) and William Pollard (1974-1979). There is also substantial correspondence between Kehrer and the AFL-CIO state and city labor councils in the South; apprenticeship and training programs; a wide range of groups and persons concerned with community action and social reform issues, principally in the field of civil rights; and political figures. - Metadata URL:
