- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to the Southern Interagency Conference, a meeting series coordinated by the Southern Regional Council (SRC) between different labor, civil rights, and community service organizations active in the U.S. south. Contents include correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with other Conference attendees, minutes of Conference meetings, and Kehrer's notes from Conference meetings. Also includes the transcript of a speech on white liberals given by Lewis M. Killian to Conference attendees and a directory of student volunteer opportunities from the United States National Student Association.
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:
