- Description:
- Consists of a letter from E.T. Kehrer to various civil rights and social service organizations active in Atlanta, Georgia, suggesting the creation of an independent watchdog organization to monitor Atlanta-area hospitals for compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Includes affirmative responses from several organizations, including the suggestion of organizing the watchdog group through the existing Community Council of the Atlanta Area (CCAA).
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:
