- 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 primarily of press releases of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on various topics including workplace sex discrimination, support for employer-sponsored affirmative action, and the status of Hispanic Americans in the workforce. Also include press releases from a variety of other labor, civil rights, and social service organizations. - Metadata URL:
