The
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, established under the Civil Rights Act of 1957,
is an independent, bipartisan, fact-finding agency of the executive branch.
The Commission studies and collects information, serves as a national clearinghouse,
and appraises Federal laws and policies with respect to discrimination or denial of
equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.
The Commission website contains reports, briefings and papers. Recent publications
include "The Economic Stagnation of the Black Middle Class", "The Farmington Report: Civil
Rights for Native Americans 30 Years Later" and "Ten-Year Check-Up: Have Federal Agencies
Responded to Civil Rights Recommendations?". The Commission's
publications page is set up so that you can access publications from
within the last 12 months in PDF format. Through the Catalog of Publications link at the
top of the page, you can get access to lists of older publications browsable by type.
There is also a link to "Directories and Periodicals" that leads you to a
Civil Rights Directory organized as browsable alphabetical
lists by Federal Agencies, State and Local Agencies, and Private Organizations.
