- Description:
- Consists of the March 1972 and May 1972 issues of the Delta Ministry's monthly newsletter. The March issue primarily discusses the seating of Mississippi's delegates to the 1972 Democratic National Convention, and the May issues primarily discusses several cases of violence against African-Americans in Mississippi. Also includes part of a document describing the involvement of the Delta Ministry in supporting James Meredith's 1966 March Against Fear.
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:
