The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders or Kerner Commission (got the name from the Illinios Governor at the time Otto Kerner), was celebrated in 1968 to investigate race riots that took place in 1967 in Newark and Detroit.

The Comission concluded that two parallel but separated socities were emerging in the country: one black and one white, and that the main cause was racism performed by the white population. To stop this de facto segregation and the isolation of black people in ghettos, the federal government should conduct housing programs to end residential segregation together with other programs to provide basic services: create jobs, sensitive police services, educational programs, etc.

Commissioners were selected from various political orientations: two democrats, two republicans, two Afroamerican representatives, labor and business experts and one woman. It was quite impressive that all agreed to identify white racism as the problem.

It is true that after the Comission, voices from detractors arose, such as Nixon's. He claimed it was unfair that the perpetrators of the riots had not been considered the ones to blame.
