- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Georgia Governor Lester Maddox. Topics include Kehrer's criticism of Maddox for helping invite George and Lurleen Wallace to address the Georgia General Assembly and an invitation from Maddox to Kehrer to attend the September 1967 Governor's Conference on Education.
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:
