Kerner Report: Ep 10: The Road Not Taken: America and the Kerner Commission
Host Connie Morris examines the Kerner Commission's bold 1968 recommendations—housing, jobs, education, and healthcare—and how those proposals were ignored in favor of war and punitive domestic policies.
This episode traces the consequences across 57 years, showing how the nation's choices led to deepened divides, mass incarceration, and the road not taken toward racial justice.
