- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with James A. Cogswell, Director of the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS) Task Force on World Hunger. Topics include Kehrer's participation as a member of the Task Force and planning for the May 1973 Consultation on World Hunger and Development meeting, held in Athens, Georgia. Also includes documents from the PCUS and the National Council of Churches (NCC) on hunger, international development, and agricultural labor.
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:
