- Description:
- Consists of correspondence, notes, and statements of E.T. Kehrer regarding his opposition to the 1969 nomination of Clement Haynsworth to the U.S. Supreme Court. Includes notes taken by Kehrer detailing his investigation into Haynsworth's political views, a signed affidavit by Kehrer indicating that interviewees had described Haynsworth to him as pro-segregation and anti-labor, and correspondence urging opposition to Haynsworth's nomination.
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:
