- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with E.D. Mink, Supervisor of the Georgia State Patrol Motor Vehicle Inspection Division, regarding a public statement by Mink that the diversion of State Patrol officers to respond to protests and unrest had led to record fatalities on Georgia highways in 1965. Kehrer wrote to take issue with this statement and request evidence, and Mink responded by providing records.
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:
