Description:: Consists of documents related to outreach efforts for minority apprenticeship programs, particularly the Joint Apprenticeship Program of the Workers' Defense League and A. Philip Randolph Institute, and the Labor Education Advancement Program (LEAP) of the National Urban League. Includes reports on apprenticeship programs in the Atlanta area and notes on a 1967 Atlanta apprenticeship recruitment workshop organized by the Joint Apprenticeship Program, LEAP, and Southern Regional Council.
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.
