America on Fire: Ep 8: The Commissions: When Reports Became Cover-Ups
In this episode Connie Morris examines Chapter 7 of Elizabeth Hinton's America on Fire, "The Commissions," showing how federal investigations like the Kerner Commission exposed police brutality, segregation, and economic inequality but were ignored and buried.
The episode urges listeners to read existing reports, hold leaders accountable, and demand action rather than more studies, while previewing deeper discussion of systemic reforms in upcoming episodes.
