The Complete Kerner Report: The Groundbreaking 1968 Federal Indictment of Racial and Economic Inequality in the U.S.
National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders
Teachers College Press
Given the present-day threats to American democracy, Teachers College Press is publishing this federal report with new introductions by U.S. Senator Cory Booker and American historian Elizabeth Hinton. This complete edition of the Kerner report includes the full text, as well as important graphs, statistics, and supporting materials. The subject of "The Riot Report," a recent episode of the PBS documentary series "American Experience," the Kerner Commission report was issued to address the urban riots during the summer of 1967, and to provide suggestions for improving race relations. Contrary to commonly held beliefs that largely blamed young Black men for the riots, this groundbreaking report pointed to a lack of economic opportunity, disastrous social service programs, white racism, police violence, and a biased national media. This federal report is being reissued to accompany the new book edited by Alan Curtis, "Creating Justice in a Multiracial Democracy," in which foremost thought leaders examine what, if any, progress has been made and provide recommendations for policy initiatives.
