- Description:
- Consists of correspondence between individuals involved with Textiles: Employment and Advancement for Minorities (TEAM), a multi-agency project intended to fight employment discrimination in the Southern U.S. textile industry. Topics include discussion of the initial TEAM project proposal, arrangement of planning meetings among TEAM board members, and reports from TEAM Field Coordinator Jean E. Fairfax and Project Director Mordecai C. Johnson.
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:
