- Consists of newspaper articles and documents related to Soul City, North Carolina, an African American-majority community planned by former Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) Director Floyd B. McKissick and incorporated in 1969. Contents includes the articles of incorporation of the Soul City Foundation and a Soul City promotional brochure.
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:
