- Description:
- Consists primarily of documents related to efforts by the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) and Georgia State AFL-CIO to register voters prior to the 1972 U.S. presidential election, as well as to organize support for Andrew Young's 1972 congressional election campaign. Includes budget documents and summaries of voter registration activity and campaign materials. Also includes 1974 congressional testimony from Bayard Rustin and Norman Hill in support of affirmative action.
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:
