- Description:
- Consists of documents of the Southern Cooperative Development Program, an initiative of the Ford Foundation and human rights groups to provide training for community organizing and economic development in the rural U.S. south. Contents include a proposal for Cooperative training activities, schedules and materials from a training event in Prairie Ronde, Louisiana, and promotional materials from associated business cooperatives.
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:
