The riot finally ended on July 27th, 1967 with the governor sending in the National Guard and President Lyndon B. Johnson sending in the Army. The destruction of this riot was the worst the U.S. had ever seen, and was not surpassed until the LA riots of 1992.pic.twitter.com/otEWjF06Dk
In response to the riots during “The Long Hot Summer,” President Johnson established the Kerner Commission to investigate the causes of the 1967 riots and provide recommendations. The commission found that poverty, racism, and discrimination were the causes of the riots.pic.twitter.com/k5jNEAPVbx
The commission stated that “Our nation is moving towards two societies, one black, one white - separate and unequal.”pic.twitter.com/HZaCJBNFa0
In response, President Johnson ignored the recommendations of the Kerner Commission's report. While we have made strides, the same issues that caused the riot still persist today. Blacks are still fighting twice as high poverty rates & disenfranchisement.https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/1968-kerner-commission-got-it-right-nobody-listened-180968318/ …
