- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to a series of Citizens' Conferences on Hunger held in 1974. Contents include correspondence related to the organization and publicity of the initial conference held in June 1974 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as documents from a July 1974 conference held in Jackson, Mississippi, and an August 1974 conference held in Atlanta, Georgia, organized by E.T. Kehrer and Jean Childs Young.
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:
