Separate and unequal
Book • 2018
In 'Separate and Unequal', Steven M. Gillon provides a comprehensive history of the Kerner Commission, which was established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate urban unrest in the late 1960s.
The commission's report famously attributed the cause of riots to white racism and called for significant social reforms.
Gillon explores how the report reshaped American discussions on race and inequality, despite its recommendations being largely ignored.
