- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the 1974-1976 protests and riots against busing for school integration in Boston, Massachusetts. Contents include a 1975 proposal by the American Arbitration Association to create an independent, impartial conflict resolution program that would serve Boston schools and neighborhoods, as well as newspaper articles on the busing conflict.
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:
