Summary:

When Black neighborhoods across America erupted in violence during the summer of 1967, President Johnson appointed a commission to determine what happened, why it happened and what could be done to keep it from happening again. The bi-partisan commission's final report offered a shockingly unvarnished assessment of American race relations that would doom its finding to political oblivion.
