- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to a February 1977 conference on employment of people with disabilities held at Georgia State University in Atlanta. Contents include correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with conference organizers regarding his presentation on affirmative action at the conference, lists of attendees, and conference materials.
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:
