Commission on Civil Rights

Read a random definition: propinquity

A quick definition of Commission on Civil Rights:

Commission on Civil Rights: The Commission on Civil Rights is a group that gathers information about unfair treatment based on things like race, religion, age, and disability. They look at things like voting, education, employment, and housing to see if people are being treated equally. They tell Congress what they find, but they can't make anyone follow their recommendations. The Commission on Civil Rights was started in 1957 to help make sure everyone is treated fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

The Commission on Civil Rights is an agency that collects information about discrimination based on various factors such as race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin. It also gathers information about the denial of equal protection of the laws in areas such as voting, education, employment, and housing.

The agency was established by the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and is also known as the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Although it has no enforcement power, it makes findings and recommendations to Congress.

For example, if the Commission on Civil Rights finds that a particular company is discriminating against employees based on their race, it may recommend that Congress take action to address the issue. Similarly, if the agency finds that a state is denying certain groups of people the right to vote, it may recommend changes to voting laws.
