- Description:
- Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer regarding the Black Image Theatre project. Funded by the Model Cities Program, the Greater Atlanta Arts Council planned the creation of a community theatre that would produce works by African American playwrights and authors, and Kehrer assisted the council in finding union labor for the project. Also includes reports on the Greater Atlanta Arts Council's activities.
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:
