- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department Director William Pollard. Topics include arrangements for Pollard to address the Butler Street YMCA Hungry Club Forum on the topic of organized labor and civil rights, Kehrer's reports on his conference activities, and administrative and financial issues around AFL-CIO relationships with different civil rights organizations. Also includes a New Times magazine article by Robert Sam Anson on African American politicians.
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:
