- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department Director Donald Slaiman. Topics include Kehrer's reports on number of civil rights and labor conferences, efforts to increase hiring of African Americans for work on MARTA projects in Atlanta, and discussion of statistics for African American employment in southern U.S. textile mills.
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:
