Sec. 22. Amistad Commission.
(a) Purpose. The General Assembly finds and declares that
all people should know of and remember the human carnage and
dehumanizing atrocities committed during the period of the
African slave trade and slavery in America and of the vestiges
of slavery in this country; and it is in fact vital to educate
our citizens on these events, the legacy of slavery, the sad
history of racism in this country, and the principles of human
rights and dignity in a civilized society.
It is the policy of the State of Illinois that the history
of the African slave trade, slavery in America, the depth of
their impact in our society, and the triumphs of
African-Americans and their significant contributions to the
development of this country is the proper concern of all
people, particularly students enrolled in the schools of the
State of Illinois.
It is therefore desirable to create a Commission that, as
an organized body and on a continuous basis, will survey,
design, encourage, and promote the implementation of education

09900SB1728ham001 - 32 - LRB099 05858 JWD 36210 a
and awareness programs in Illinois that are concerned with the
African slave trade, slavery in America, the vestiges of
slavery in this country, and the contributions of
African-Americans in building our country; to develop
workshops, institutes, seminars, and other teacher training
activities designed to educate teachers on this subject matter;
and that will be responsible for the coordination of events on
a regular basis, throughout the State, that provide appropriate
memorialization of the events concerning the enslavement of
Africans and their descendants in America and their struggle
for freedom, liberty, and equality.
(b) Amistad Commission. The Amistad Commission is created
within the Agency. The Commission is named to honor the group
of enslaved Africans transported in 1839 on a vessel named the
Amistad who overthrew their captors and created an
international incident that was eventually argued before the
Supreme Court and that shed a growing light on the evils of the
slave trade and galvanized a growing abolitionist movement
towards demanding the end of slavery in the United States.
(c) Membership. The Commission shall consist of 15 members,
including 3 ex officio members: the State Superintendent of
Education or his or her designee, the Director of Commerce and

Representatives and one member appointed by the Minority

The public members shall be residents of this State, chosen
with due regard to broad geographic representation and ethnic
diversity, who have served actively in organizations that
educate the public on the history of the African slave trade,
the contributions of African-Americans to our society, and
civil rights issues.
Each public member of the Commission shall serve for a term
of 3 years, except that of the initial members so appointed:
one member appointed by the President of the Senate, one member
appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and 2

year; the member appointed by the Minority Leader of the
Senate, one member appointed by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and 2 members appointed by the Governor shall
serve for terms of 2 years; and one member appointed by the
President of the Senate, the member appointed by the Minority
Leader of the House of Representatives, and 2 members appointed
by the Governor shall serve for terms of 3 years. Public

09900SB1728ham001 - 34 - LRB099 05858 JWD 36210 a
members shall be eligible for reappointment. They shall serve
until their successors are appointed and qualified, and the
term of the successor of any incumbent shall be calculated from
the expiration of the term of that incumbent. A vacancy
occurring other than by expiration of term shall be filled in
the same manner as the original appointment, but for the
unexpired term only.
(d) Election of chairperson; meetings. At its first meeting
and annually thereafter, the Commission shall elect from among
