- Description:
- Consists primarily of documents related to the 1968 New York City teachers' strikes over the creation of a community-controlled, majority African-American school district in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. Contents include a published exchange between New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) Director Aryeh Neier, who opposed the strike, and writer Maurice Goldbloom, who supported the strike and criticized NYCLU and the leaders of the Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district.
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. - External Identifiers:
