- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer in his role as President of the Georgia Citizens' Coalition on Hunger (GCCH), primarily with GCCH Directors J. Andrew Lipscomb and Rick Bent, who managed the GCCH Food Stamp Outreach Program. Topics include funding of GCCH and the Outreach program, efforts to expand food stamp usage and accessibility in Georgia, and the organization of opposition to food stamp reforms backed by Georgia Senator Herman Talmadge
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:
