- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of the United States Commission on Civil Rights (CCR). Topics include the CCR's participation in projects to promote affirmative action in the textile industry and E.T. Kehrer's activities as a member of the CCR Georgia State Advisory Committee in 1967. Also includes a 1972 statement from the CCR criticizing Richard Nixon's opposition to busing for school integration.
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:
