- Description:
- Consists of newspaper articles primarily related to 1966 gubernatorial elections in southern U.S. states. Topics include the attempt of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to organize a boycott of the 1966 Alabama Democratic Party primary, Alabama gubernatorial candidate Richmond Flowers' efforts to gain support from African American voters, and the 1966 Georgia gubernatorial election between Lester Maddox and Bo Callaway.
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:
