- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Morris Blake, Secretary-Treasure of the Tampa Building and Construction Trades Council, regarding the Tampa Labor Education Advancement Program (LEAP) project developed by the Tampa Urban League and local unions. The major topic is a 1969 labor dispute between Blake and Tampa LEAP Executive Director Augusta Marshall. Also includes financial planning documents for the Tampa LEAP.
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:
