About
The Commission maintains 56 State and U.S. Territory Advisory Committees, one in each state, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. Territories. Each is composed of citizen volunteers familiar with local and state civil rights issues. The members assist the Commission with its fact-finding, investigative, and information dissemination functions.

Membership
