Given the present-day threats to American democracy and the deep political divisions ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Teachers College Press is publishing this federal report with a new introduction. The Kerner Commission Report was issued by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders--a presidential commission established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to determine the causes of urban riots during the summer of 1967, and to provide suggestions for improving race relations. After 7 months of investigation, a groundbreaking report was released that sent shockwaves through the nation. Contrary to commonly held beliefs that largely blamed young Black men for the riots, the 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, which is a collection of essays by seminal scholars and activists on how the United States has (or has not) progressed since the Kerner Commission Report.
