- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the activities of the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education (COPE). Contents include a 1966 report on the Democratic Party primary elections in Alabama, a 1967 report on COPE's 1967 national leadership meetings, instructional guides on how to conduct fundraising and voter registration drives, COPE brochures and other promotional material, and election statistics.
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:
