- Description:
- Consists of the Southern Regional Council (SRC) objectives for the 1970s, as adopted at the 1973 SRC annual meeting. The program calls on the SCR to expand its capacity to facilitate communication between advocacy groups and to provide expert research on issues, while continuing to support initiatives for economic development, education, healthcare, and housing in the U.S. south.
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:
