- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department Director William Pollard. Topics include reports on Kehrer's activities in Alabama and Mississippi, plans for the 1977 and 1978 celebrations of the birthday Martin Luther King, Jr., organized by the King Center, and the 1977 strike of sanitation workers in Atlanta.
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:
