- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. Contents include a letter received by Coretta Scott King and forwarded to E.T. Kehrer requesting support for union organizing among minority building and construction workers in New York City, as well as additional correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with King Center staff regarding Kehrer's involvement with planning committees for King Center events. Also includes planning materials and programs for the 1978 celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and reports on the progress of King Center projects.
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:
