Ferguson Commission

At a ceremony at the Missouri History Museum on November 18, 2014, Gov. Jay Nixon signed an executive order founding the Ferguson Commission, and "announced that the Commission would be led by co-chairs Rev. Starsky Wilson and Rich McClure."

The Ferguson Commission produced a report in September 2015. The Communist news source, People's World, referred to the report as "a balanced, objective analysis of the consequences of racism in the region..."
