The Governor's Commission on Problems Affecting the Negro Popu-
lation, also known as the Commission on Race Relations, was created
in 1943, superseding the Inter-Racial Committees appointed in 1927
and 1933. The Commission is composed of eighteen members
appointed by the Governor for nine year terms (Code 1947 Supp.,
Art. 49B). The Commission has made a survey of the political,
economic and social needs of the Negro population of Maryland. It
acts as a clearing house for information concerning the Negro in
Maryland. Acting in cooperation with State officials and agencies
and officials of local governmental units, the Commission attempts to
find the cause and practical solutions to the special problems con-
fronting the Negro. The Commission also cooperates in exchanging
information and data with other race-relation agencies throughout
the United States.
