------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission on Civil Rights collects and studies information on
discrimination or denials of equal protection of the laws because of
race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, national origin, or in the
administration of justice in such areas as voting rights, enforcement of
Federal civil rights laws, and equal opportunity in education,
employment, and housing.
The Commission on Civil Rights was first created by the Civil Rights Act
of 1957, as amended, and reestablished by the United States Commission
on Civil Rights Act of 1983, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1975).
Activities
The Commission makes findings of fact but has no enforcement authority.
Findings and recommendations are submitted to the President and
Congress, and many of the Commission's recommendations have been
enacted, either by statute, Executive order, or regulation. The
Commission evaluates Federal laws and the effectiveness of Government
equal opportunity programs. It also serves as a national clearinghouse
for civil rights information.
Regional Programs The Commission maintains six regional divisions.
