- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the activities of the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI). Includes advertisements and programs for the 1976 APRI national conference and the 1976 Florida APRI conferences, administrative documents from the Florida APRI, planning materials for APRI-backed political campaigns, and position papers and editorials written by Bayard Rustin and Norman Hill. Also includes materials related to a boycott against the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
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:
