- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Victor Bussie, President of the Louisiana AFL-CIO. Topics include the progress of a 1965 apprenticeship program in Bogalusa, Louisiana and training opportunities for Louisiana union activists. Also includes a letter from Greater New Orleans AFL-CIO President A.P. Stoddard to NAACP New Orleans Branch President Horace C. Bynum, responding to Bynum's criticism of low union turnout to a May 1965 meeting on racial issues in New Orleans.
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:
