- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with staff of the AFL-CIO Atlanta Labor Council. Major topics include the organization and finances of the Atlanta Labor Council and its affiliate union locals, participation of Atlanta Labor Council staff and affiliate local members in conferences and events, and joint planning with the Georgia State AFL-CIO for a Voter Information Project (VIP) prior to the 1980 Presidential election.
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:
