- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer and Atlanta lawyer Marsha King regarding efforts to develop prepaid legal service programs. Topics include discussion of legal service programs to be administered by state labor bodies, the National Rural Center, and the Southern Regional Council. Also includes a copy of a proposal for a legal service program developed for unions in the Washington, D.C. area.
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:
