Happy 73rd Birthday to CHRC!

The Cincinnati Human Relations Commission (CHRC) was established in November of 1943 as The Mayor’s Friendly Relations Committee. The goal was to appoint a committee that represented various racial, industrial and religious groups to make sure all groups felt a part of their communities and supported one another in the city of Cincinnati. As time passed the name was changed to CHRC and the mission grew to target a much larger issue, discrimination. Thus, the agency's mission is “to help our community to overcome prejudice and discrimination, build mutual respect and understanding, and to become more harmonious and cohesive.”

The video below brings to life CHRC's history and key initiatives.

Together we can make a difference! 

Happy Birthday CHRC!!
