- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the May 1966 To Fulfill These Rights conference, organized by President Lyndon Johnson to discuss approaches to improve the social and economic conditions of African Americans. Contents include conference programs, conference notes of E.T. Kehrer, transcripts of statements at the conference by Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, and a statement from activist groups in New York criticizing the conference.
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:
