- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. Contents include a copy of a letter from Coretta Scott King to AFL-CIO President George Meany encouraging cooperation between civil rights and labor groups and emphasizing full employment as a shared goal, as well as planning materials for the 1976 celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, which incorporated full employment as a major theme. Also includes a program for the August 1975 retirement celebration of Martin Luther King, Sr.
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:
