- Description:
- Consists of correspondence copied to E.T. Kehrer. Contents include a letter of U.S. Representative Bo Callaway to Atlanta attorney Al Wall indicating his support for improved workers' compensation in Georgia, a letter from Charles W. Moore to the Associated Actors and Artistes of America requesting help arranging a celebrity speaker for the 1969 banquet of the Morris Brown College Alumni Association, and a letter from U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau Director Elizabeth Duncan Koontz to the Chatham County Domestic Worker's Union informing them of training opportunities for household workers.
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:
