The League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions was founded in 1971 and was
reorganized in 1987. The league is a private, non-governmental organization. It
operates in coalition with local human rights commissions, which were established by
charter or ordinance in communities throughout Minnesota. The league uses the
Minnesota Human Rights Law (MS c. 363) as a guide. The goals of the league are to
assist in the development of new human rights commissions; to gather and circulate
news on human rights issues; to develop educational materials about human rights
issues; and to conduct workshops and conferences to assist and inform others. The
services of the league include training programs, conferences, proposed legislation,
and recognition and awards.
