- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to a June 1974 conference held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on hunger in the southern United States. Contents include planning correspondence between E.T. Kehrer and conference organizers regarding Kehrer's role as head of the Georgia caucus of attendees, conference programs, and lists of conference attendees.
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:
