- Description:
- Consists of documents related to the March 1977 National Conference on Increasing Participation of Blacks in Vocational Education, held on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. Contents include notes from E.T. Kehrer and William Pollard, who attended the conference and led workshops, as well as conference programs, attendee lists, and materials from the National Association for the Advancement of Black Americans in Vocational Education (NAABAVE), which organized the conference. Also includes several 1977 statements from the AFL-CIO Executive Council on criminal justice, school integration, employment discrimination, and civil rights.
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:
