- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Alexis Herman, National Director of the Minority Women Employment Program (MWEP). Topics include worker placements made by MWEP for MARTA projects, plans to extend MWEP funding under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), and the 1974 incorporation of MWEP from the earlier pilot projects in Atlanta and Houston, Texas.
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:
