- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of the Southern Regional Council (SRC), primarily with SRC Labor Director Emory Via. Topics include planning for conferences, Kehrer's suggestions for new members of the SRC board, and efforts to direct resources of the SRC and other civil rights organizations towards economic development for poor people and African Americans in the U.S. south.
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:
