Description:: Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Barney Weeks, President of the AFL-CIO Alabama Labor Council. Major topics include educational activities organized by the Alabama Labor Council, information on Kehrer's speaking engagements in Alabama, and requests to Kehrer for information on Civil Rights topics.
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.
