- Description:
- Consists of mixed documents, articles, and promotional materials from various sources. Contents include minutes of meetings of AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department and various related committees, an article by Jewish Labor Committee Executive Director Emanuel Muravchik on the role of antisemitism in the 1968-1969 New York City teachers' strikes, brochures from the U.S. Civil Service Commission, Georgia labor statistics from 1975 and 1975, and a 1968 AFL-CIO report on anti-union activity in Mississippi.
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:
