- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to the 1967 efforts of the Alliance for Social, Economic, and Political Progress to oppose the creation of a new sales tax or payroll tax in Atlanta. Contents include correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with other Alliance members and labor representatives, reports from the Alliance's Tax Committee, text of local tax bills brought before the Georgia General Assembly, and articles on tax policy.
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:
