- Description:
- Shortly after the merger in 1955, the AFL-CIO set up a Civil Rights Department, which was designed to investigate various fields of civil rights activity.
The Records, 1963-1972, of the Civil Rights Department of the AFL-CIO Southern Region consist primarily of printed material and correspondence of private groups, government commissions, and committees from organized labor, working in the various fields of civil rights activity--equal and open housing, school desegregation, human relations, and fair and equal employment opportunities.
Consists of reports, articles, and published statements of various labor, civil rights, and social service organizations. Contents include an 1967 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) report on urban minority employment; Southern Regional Council (SRC) materials promoting minimum wage legislation, and articles from the AFL-CIO American Federationist magazine. Also includes newspaper and magazine clippings related to strikes and boycotts. - Metadata URL:
