- 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 press releases of the AFL-CIO on various topics, as well as statements, speeches, and press conference transcripts from AFL-CIO President George Meany and AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Lane Kirkland. - External Identifiers:
