- 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.
Consists of correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with various labor, civil rights, and social service organizations, primarily the Arkansas State AFL-CIO, Florida AFL-CIO, and the Community Council of the Atlanta Area (CCAA). Topics include funding issues faced by the CCAA's Community Coordinated Child Care (4C) program and a 1970 strike by water treatment workers in Little Rock, Arkansas.
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. - External Identifiers:
