- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of the Southern Regional Council (SRC) while Kehrer served as a member of the SRC board in 1975 and 1976. Topics include funding requests from the SRC to the AFL-CIO for assistance in the 1976 and 1977 fiscal years, SRC research into funding problems faced by Medicaid in Georgia, and a dispute over the choice of an archival repository for SRC records. Also includes an SRC report on strategies to fund Medicaid in Georgia.
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:
