[edit] President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity

This article refers to a "President's Commission on Equal Opportunity." There was no such commission. Rabbi Davis may have been a member of the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, but he was never the chairman. During the Kennedy administration, Vice President Johnson served as chairman. During the Johnson administration, Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz presided until the election of Hubert H. Humphrey as vice president, at which point Vice President Humphrey became chairman until the Committee was abolished in the fall of 1965.

The link leads the the article on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which lists Rabbi Davis as the first chairman in 1965. That too is erroneous. The first chairman was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr., who was succeeded in 1966 by Stephen M. Shulman.

I will make the necessary changes to both pages.

There was briefly a President's Council on Equal Opportunity--an oversight body for coordination of the various federal EEO commissions, committees, and agency EEO offices--but Vice President Humphrey was the first and only chairman.
