- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents of the Alliance for Social, Economic, and Political Progress, a civil rights and labor activist organization established in 1965 in Atlanta, Georgia. Contents include correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with other members of the Alliance, a resolution adopted by the Alliance in support of the California Grape Strike, and materials promoting the 1966 campaign of Sam Caldwell for Georgia Labor Commissioner.
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:
