The \u003cem\u003eKerner Commission Report\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cem\u003eCreating Justice in a Multiracial Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword to the 2024 Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the 2024 Edition by Elizabeth Hinton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Preface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I.
