Reports Purged From the Website of the Civil Rights Commission

full versions of almost all deleted reports are posted below

>>> As of 7 January 2005, the website of the US Commission on Civil Rights has been purged of 20 reports that didn't meet the approval of the agency's Republican majority. The site says that you may still order copies of these reports, but, tellingly, they require that you give them a physical mailing address. In other words, they'll send you a paper copy of a report, not an easily-postable electronic copy. The Memory Hole was able to locate 17 19 of these deleted reports. They have been posted below. (If you can find any of the other three, please send them.)
