What was the Kerner Commission Report and what happened to it?

The Kerner Commission was established by Lyndon Johnson on July 28, 1967. It was formed as the result of several riots starting in 1965, including the Watts and Division Street riots. The report was released on February 29, 1968. It found that the riots were the result of a lack of economic opportunity for black communities, and criticized both federal and State government. Some of it's sharpest criticism was directed at the media, which the commission felt inflamed passions and added fuel to the fire. President Johnson ignored the report and rejected the findings of the Commission. Critics said that the report was badly flawed, and some of the worst rioting occurred in areas with the least racism, such as the Watts riots in Los Angeles. Poor police response and the size of the affected communities were also noted as being problems not dealt with in the report, which blamed many of the problems on racism.
