- 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.
Consists of articles and published statements of various labor and civil rights leaders and organization. Contents include 1968 congressional testimony by George Meany in favor of manpower legislation and articles by Bayard Rustin on African American involvement in the labor movement and education reform. Also include newspaper and magazine clippings related to strikes and boycotts.
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. - Metadata URL:
