- 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 correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with various labor, civil rights, and social service organizations, primarily the League for Industrial Democracy (LID) and the Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity (ESCRU). Topics include LID's 1967 conference and Summer Labor School, federal public school funding and desegregation, and the 1965 killing of Episcopal civil rights workers Jonathan Myrick Daniels. - Metadata URL:
