- Description:
- Shortly after the merger in 1955, the AFL-CIO set up a Civil Rights Department, which was designed to investigate various fields of civil rights activity.
The Records, 1963-1972, of the Civil Rights Department of the AFL-CIO Southern Region consist primarily of printed material and correspondence of private groups, government commissions, and committees from organized labor, working in the various fields of civil rights activity--equal and open housing, school desegregation, human relations, and fair and equal employment opportunities.
Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with various labor, civil rights, and social service organizations, primarily the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, Arkansas State AFL-CIO and Virginia AFL-CIO. Topics include Leadership Conference political bulletins, calls to support boycotts of La-Z-Boy furniture and lettuce growers, and planning for state AFL-CIO and AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education (COPE) conferences. - External Identifiers:
