- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the activities of Recruitment and Training Program, Inc., the successor organization to the Joint Apprenticeship Program of the Workers' Defense League and A. Philip Randolph Institute. Includes addresses from Recruitment and Training Program Director Ernest Green and AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department Director Robert Georgine, publicity materials created for the Recruitment and Training Program's 1975 conference and other events, and a proposal for minority hiring for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor nuclear power project in Tennessee.
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:
