- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. Contents include organizational and financial records of the King Center, planning documents for September 1977 events to promote full employment, and a complete program for the 1977 celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. Also includes promotional materials for various initiatives supported by the King Center, and a pamphlet from the communist October League organization criticizing the King Center.
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:
