15. The Kerner Report The Kerner commission was formed by President Johnson after race riots in 1967. Business, political and civil rights leaders were asked to investigate the nation’s ethnic tensions. Their report was the nation’s first comprehensive look at race issues in the U.S. and it was the federal government’s first official document that said racism existed and was a problem.

16. The Kerner Report The Kerner report predicted that the economic and racial divide would grow: “White society is deeply implicated in the ghetto... White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.”

34. 1997 Levels of Satisfaction (% Satisfied)

35. Gallup Poll Findings “The trend data suggest that the gaps in satisfaction between whites and blacks on many of these measures have been narrowing significantly over time, and this marks one of the more significant findings of the study. “ (The gap is narrowing because black satisfaction levels have increased over the past years and white satisfaction levels have stayed about the same.)

36. “The Millennium Breach” This report was released by a private urban-policy group, the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation, to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Kerner report. It basically states that the Kerner predictions have come true. “While leaders and pundits talk of full employment, inner city unemployment is at crisis levels. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and minorities are suffering disproportionately.”

37. “The Millennium Breach” Some statistics from the report: The national unemployment rate is below 5%, but the rates for young African American men in places like south-central Los Angeles have topped 30% The national incarceration rate of black men is four times higher than the same rate in South Africa under apartheid The child poverty rate is four times the average of western European countries
