The roots of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission (HRC) go back to 1964, when the modern day civil rights movement manifested in San Francisco through demonstrations against hotels, supermarkets, drive-in theaters, and automobile showrooms that discriminated against African Americans. In early 1964, Mayor John F. Shelley appointed an interim committee on human relations, which subsequently recommended to the Board of Supervisors that a permanent Human Rights Commission be established. Today, the Human Rights Commission advocates for human and civil rights, and works in service of the City’s anti-discrimination laws to further racial solidarity, equity, and healing.
