- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with individuals involved in employment and training programs in Tennessee. Topics include the establishment of Apprenticeship Opportunity Centers by labor organizations in Knoxville, Nashville, and Chattanooga. Also includes assessment and training materials used by Tennessee Apprenticeship Opportunity Centers.
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:
