The Civil Rights Movement and the Kerner Commission

The Civil Rights Movement is the period during which blacks attempt to acquire constitutional rights that are deprived. The campaign has been taking place from the 1950s to the present, including a positive action plan. Many people are concerned about the way civil rights movement was started in the 1960s. As a result, there is a man who assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King, the leader of exercise. Many blacks were angry with this death, so there were serious riots in nearly 100 cities.

Following the riots of Newark and Detroit, President Johnson nominated a national civil conflict advisory committee chaired by Illinois Governor Otto Kna. In February 1968, 7 months after the end of Detroit Riot, the committee announced a report of 426 pages. Unfortunately, this report says, "Japan is heading towards two societies: black, white, and inequality, and the response to illness last summer accelerated the movement and deepened the division. Most of the people's lives, they are now threatening the future of all Americans. "

President Johnson convened a committee led by Governor of Illinois Governor Otto Kuna and investigated the reasons for this series of revolts. The National Civil Affairs Advisory Committee issues the following year a report condemning unemployment, lack of opportunity, lack of support for African Americans. As everyone knows, the Kerner report will be the best seller

After the Governor of Michigan announced the complete 'rebellion', the president sent a tank to fire in Detroit.

President Lyndon Johnson appointed Brooke as a member of the President's civil conflict committee shortly after being elected Senator. Governor of Illinois Governor Otto Kerner leads this group, also known as the Kerner Committee. Knerner Commission is responsible for summarizing the causes of urban riots in 1967 and proposing solutions to the spread of racial riots in American cities. The Committee reported that there is a serious difference in ethnicity in American society. Eleven committees including Brooke recommended that the government funds a series of programs to increase education, housing and employment opportunities for minorities living in urban areas. President Johnson promises to improve the ethnic minority situation, but his concern over the Vietnam War and his decision to cease re-elections have invalidated the Committee's recommendation24.
