U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is an independent federal agency established in 1957 to monitor and report on civil rights issues in the United States. Its primary role is to investigate allegations of discrimination, gather information about civil rights conditions, and advise the President and Congress on policy matters. The Commission conducts studies, holds hearings, and produces reports to promote understanding and protection of civil rights for all citizens, particularly marginalized groups. Its work aims to ensure that everyone can enjoy the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and civil rights laws.
