- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. Contents include correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with King Center staff, planning materials for the 1974 and 1975 celebrations of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, and programs for those celebrations.
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:
