- Description:
- Consists of documents related to minority participation in apprenticeship programs, labor unions, and union jobs, particularly in the building trades. Includes a report on a 1969 dispute between African-American activists, unions, and employers in Chicago and correspondence and records related to 1970 EEOC hearings in 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:
