- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with individuals involved in affirmative action and employment and training programs at the Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Topics include negotiations regarding affirmative action for African American workers affected by job discrimination at Ingalls Shipyard, misconduct by Shipyard owner Litton Industries, and support from local unions for the activities of Recruitment and Training Program, Inc. in the area.
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:
