- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Robert S. Valder, Associate Director of the Alabama Council on Human Relations. Kehrer informs Valder that the Economic Development Administration is hiring integrated staff for a new office in Huntsville, Alabama, and encourages Valder to help refer African American applicants. Also includes a brochure from the Alabama Council on Human Relations.
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:
