Comment: The Rise and Fall of the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
Frye, Jocelyn C.; And Others
Harvard Civil Rights - Civil Liberties Law Review, v22 n2 p449-505 Spr 1987
With some Congressional resistance, the Commission on Civil Rights began in 1957 and vigorously promoted civil rights until 1983. Today it lacks credibility due to questionable reorganization practices, a narrow definition of civil rights, and a change from the role of watchdog to one of preserver of the status quo. (VM)
