- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department Director Donald Slaiman. Topics include efforts to promote compliance with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by hospitals and healthcare workers and discussion of the relationship between AFL-CIO and civil rights organizations.
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:
