United States Commission on Civil Rights

The United States Commission on Civil Rights is an independent federal agency established in 1957. Its primary mission is to monitor, investigate, and report on civil rights issues and practices in America. The Commission studies discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, and national origin. It gathers data, holds hearings, and makes recommendations to the President and Congress to improve civil rights protections. By focusing on these issues, the Commission aims to promote equal rights and ensure that the fundamental principle of equality under the law is upheld for all Americans.
