Question

What was the response of conservative Americans to the Kerner report? How did the events of the late sixties show that the struggle for equality, in both the legal and practical sense, was not yet achieved?

Answer 1

1. The response of conservative Americans to the Kerner report was to pay deaf ears.

2. The events of the late sixties show clearly that the struggle for equality was far from being achieved because segregation of blacks and whites continues to intensify in all U.S. cities.

What is the Kerner Report?

The Kerner Report was produced by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (or Kerner Commission). The report identified that racial discrimination was impoverishing African Americans and creating apartheid in the U.S.

However, the conservative Americans refused to heed the truths uncovered in the report.

Thus, without adhering to the recommendations of the Kerner Report, racial discrimination and civil disorders, riots, and police brutality after people of color have continued to disrupt the evolution of the American society into a land of freedom and opportunity.
