The root of America s crime problem is poverty

The root of America’s crime problem is poverty The Kerner Commission of the 1960s advised lawmakers to address racialized poverty, but they failed to heed this wisdom. The Kerner Commission in session, Washington D.C., 1967. Officially called the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, it was created by President Lyndon Johnson to investigate the causes of the 1967 race riots in the United States and to provide recommendations for the future.(Underwood Archives / Getty Images) By Michael W. Waters explores the most critical issues facing our communities. The first series focuses on . A daily deluge of civil unrest animated news reports from coast to coast.

Sending love to aching Black families in America

Sending love to aching Black families in America Adeyela Albury Bennett I am a mother. As such, I hold the members of the aching African American community close to my heart to love and comfort them. In just about every African American home, we are individually and collectively grieving the senseless lynching-by-police of 20-year-old Daunte Wright by Minnesota officer Kim Potter on April 11, 2021. This, while we yet mourn the heartless public lynching-by-police of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, also in Minnesota, and the March 13, 2020, lynching-by-police of Breonna Taylor, who was innocently laying in her bed in Kentucky. I now comprehend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s solution to the pain and suffering African Americans have endured in America since 1619: “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
