- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) and several of its local chapters. Topics include planning for national and local APRI conferences, organizing support for Andrew Young's 1972 congressional election campaign, and discussion of electoral and legislative strategies for organized labor following the 1972 U.S. presidential election.
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:
