- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with members of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Georgia and national ACLU staff. Topics include Kehrer's term as president of the ACLU of Georgia from February 1967 to November 1968, his disagreement with the national ACLU over its opposition to the Vietnam War and the 1968 New York City teachers' strikes, and his ultimate resignation from his position. Also includes bylaws of the ACLU of Georgia and the New York Civil Liberties Union, a 1965 ACLU report critical of "stop and frisk" policing, and an ACLU pamphlet on rights in the criminal justice system.
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:
