- Description:
- Consists of documents related to efforts by the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) to register voters and politically mobilize African American union members prior to the 1972 U.S. presidential election. Includes planning documents for a voter registration drive in northern Georgia, resolutions in support of APRI voter registration activities, and a voter registration pamphlet published by the APRI and the A. Philip Randolph Educational Fund.
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:
