Contents include notes of E.T. Kehrer on strike organizing, a collection of newspapers articles on the strike created by the healthcare workers' union Local 1199, and an edition of Local 1199's monthly magazine containing reports on the strike and statements by Coretta Scott King, one of the strike organizers.||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.
