- Description:
- 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.
Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of Recruitment and Training Program, Inc., the successor organization to the Joint Apprenticeship Program of the Workers' Defense League and A. Philip Randolph Institute. Topics include efforts to recruit minority candidates for jobs in the elevator industry, planning for Recruitment and Training Program conferences in 1974, 1975, and 1976, and a dispute over the political activities of former Joint Apprenticeship Program staff member Patrick Flack. - Metadata URL:
