- Description:
- Consists primarily of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Eliza Paschall, Executive Director of the Greater Atlanta Council on Human Relations. Topics include the Council's participation in a 1966 federal study of housing discrimination in urban areas, the Council's 1965 investigation into employment discrimination at an Atlanta bakery, and the Council's research on apprenticeship and training opportunities for African Americans in Atlanta.
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:
