- Millions of Black Americans left the rural South in the first half of the 20th century in the hopes of finding safety and security in the North. But what they often found was another form of racial injustice.

When Black neighborhoods in scores of cities erupted in violence during the summer of 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders--informally known as the Kerner Commission--to answer three questions: What happened? Why did it happen? And what could be done to prevent it from happening again? The bi-partisan commission’s final report, issued in March of 1968, would offer a shockingly unvarnished assessment of American race relations--a verdict so politically explosive that Johnson not only refused to acknowledge it publicly, but even to thank the commissioners for their service. THE RIOT REPORT explores this pivotal moment in the nation’s history and the fraught social dynamics that simultaneously spurred the commission’s investigation and doomed its findings to political oblivion.

Those who fail to remember history are condemned to repeat it.
Those who live in the past deny progress.
But they wouldn't need to police you if you weren't committing crime.. both then and now..
So, this won't mention Black crime or hooligans. Apparently they forgot part of our history.
Does anyone ever dare to question why? If ya do… you’re labeled. Even if it is quoting a true statistic that doesn’t favor a minority. Math is math. 🤷🏻♂️
Chicago Detroit Baltimore Philadelphia....
And the reason for that would be…..?
Self interest from monied and more powerful people of a different color. It's self evident. We all know this because it isn't a matter of opinion rooted in feelings, it's a material fact that has been born out generation after generation for anyone to see if they can get past their own self interest.
Sheeeeiiit!😂
You can thank your Democratic party.
You can thank the entire government for telling white Americans that it was okay to treat black Americans in that manner. Look what happened to Kennedy when he tried to change it. He was Democrat
😅😅😅
