- Description:
- Consists of documents related to outreach efforts for minority apprenticeship programs in Jacksonville, Florida. Includes correspondence discussing a partnership between regional union organizations and the National Urban League's Labor Education and Advancement Program (LEAP), as well as problems with discriminatory behavior in the local plumbers' union.
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:
