- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the 1975 protests and riots against busing for school integration in Louisville, Kentucky. Contents include correspondence between labor officials and union members regarding the activities of United Labor Against Busing, an organization of local union members opposed to the busing program, as well as newspaper articles and a series of reports from the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights detailing school and housing segregation in Louisville.
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:
