- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to the activities of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights (KCHR) and the Kentucky Christian Leadership Conference (KCLC), particularly their advocacy for the 1966 Kentucky Civil Rights Act. Includes publicity materials for both organizations, a 1964 KCHR annual report, planning correspondence for a December 1965 KCHR meeting, and a draft of the 1966 Kentucky Civil Rights Act.
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:
