520 1 $a"This is the story of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, through its extraordinary fifty years at the heart of the civil rights movement and the struggle for justice in America. Mary Frances Berry, the commission's chairperson for more than a decade, author of My Face Is Black Is True ("An essential chapter in American history from a distinguished historian" - Nell Painter), tells of the commission's founding in 1957 by President Eisenhower, in response to burgeoning civil rights protests; how it was designed to be an independent bipartisan Federal agency - made up of six members, with no more than three from one political party, free of interference from Congress and presidents - beholden to no government body, with full subpoena power, and free to decide what it would investigate and report on."--BOOK JACKET.
