A001 - Advocacy and Coordination of Issues for African-American Community
The African-American Affairs Commission's primary purpose is to improve public policy development for, and government services delivery to, the African-American community. The commission was created as an effort to fulfill the duty of the state to improve the status of African Americans who find themselves disadvantaged or isolated from the benefits of equal opportunity. The commission examines issues pertaining to the rights and needs of the African-American community, and makes recommendations to the Governor, Legislature, and state agencies for changes in programs and laws. The commission has conducted public information and outreach programs in support of educational achievement, as well as developed special studies and proposed legislation to address issues of concern to the African-American community.
