Kerner Report: Ep 5: Life Inside the Ghetto: The Kerner Commission’s Wake-Up Call

Episode 5 of The Morris Perspective explores the Kerner Commission's on-the-ground findings about life inside Black ghettos: widespread unemployment, strained families, overcrowded and unsafe housing, and chronically underfunded schools—conditions the report frames as systemic oppression, not cultural failure.

Host Connie Morris connects those 1967 realities to today, reflects on the human cost, and previews the next episode examines the fraught relationship between Black communities and police as the spark of the uprisings.
