- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents of E.T. Kehrer related to assistance programs for sharecroppers in the U.S. south. Contents include letters from representatives of the National Sharecroppers Fund requesting input from Kehrer on the Fund's rural training projects, a proposal from the Southern Consumers' Cooperative for the establishment of an educational foundation, and a Southern Consumers' Cooperative brochure.
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:
