- Description:
- Consists of a letter to E.T. Kehrer from Jackie Cook of Community Coordinated Child Care of Metropolitan Atlanta, requesting that Kehrer intervene in a dispute between the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the Day Care and Child Development Council of America over control of federally-funded child care services. Contents include congressional testimony of AFT President Al Shanker, in which he calls for federally-funded child care services to be administered through public school systems, and responses from the Day Care and Child Development Council arguing for a more distributed approach emphasizing community and family control.
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:
