- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Southern Regional Office and with members of the ACLU of Georgia. Topics include a 1965 ACLU study of African American employment by federal courts in the Southern U.S. and 1971 reforms of the constitution of the ACLU of Georgia. Also includes a 1969 letter from lawyer and ACLU member Hugh L. Gilbert to E.T. Kehrer, discussing Kehrer's resignation as president of the ACLU of Georgia.
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:
