"The Kerner Report is one of the seminal documents in understanding American race relations and the origins of urban unrest, and was an instant bestseller when it was published in March 1968--inspiring one of the most wide-ranging debates about race in recent American history. I hope that this book helps spark a new national conversation."--Steven M.

Readable and timely, The Kerner Report is likely to find a wide audience."--Thomas J. Sugrue, New York University
