Each set off a chain reaction in neighboring communities.\nOn July 28, 1967, the President of the United States estab\u00ADlished this Commission and directed us to answer three basic questions:\nWhat happened? \nWhy did it happen?\nWhat can be done to prevent it from happening again?\nTo respond to these questions, we have undertaken a broad range of studies and investigations. We have visited the riot cities; we have heard many witnesses; we have sought the counsel of experts across the country. .\nThis is our basic conclusion: Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white--separate and unequal.\nReaction to last summers disorders has quickened the move\u00ADment and deepened the division. Discrimination and segrega\u00ADtion have long permeated much of American life; they now threaten the future of every American.\nThis deepening racial division is not inevitable. The move\u00ADment apart can be reversed. Choice is still possible. Our principal task is to define that choice and to press for a national resolution.\nTo pursue our present course will involve the continuing polarization of the American community and, ultimately, the destruction of basic democratic values.\nThe alternative is not blind repression or capitulation to lawlessness. It is the realization of common opportunities for all within a single society.\nThis alternative will require a commitment to national action--compassionate, massive and sustained, backed by the resources of the most powerful and the richest nation on this earth. From every American it will require new attitudes, new understanding, and, above all, new will. \nThe vital needs of the nation must be met; hard choices must be made, and, if necessary, new taxes enacted.\nViolence cannot","MaxDetailCharacters":0,"ImageOrientation":"none","HasImage":false,"CssClass":"","Layout":"","Rowspan":1,"Colspan":1,"Likes":0,"Shares":0,"ContentSourceId":"de2ecbf0-5aa4-45ce-bbf9-9a6ac45f6ac8","SourceName":"Black Past","ContentSourceRootUrl":"https://www.blackpast.org/","IsSponsored":false,"HasSmallSponsorLogo":false,"EffectiveDate":"1967-07-28T00:00:00","HasEffectiveDate":true,"Year":1967,"Month":7,"Day":28,"LastUpdatedDate":"2023-11-25T05:14:39.027","LastUpdatedBy":"ExtractionBotHub","IsEditable":false,"InsertAd":false,"Id":4528,"FactUId":"1f44dbba-c0d6-43d9-9671-8973949da943","Slug":"national-advisory-commission-on-civil-disorders-the-kerner-report-1967","FactType":"Event","Title":"National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (The Kerner Report), 1967","LocalFactUrl":"/fact/national-advisory-commission-on-civil-disorders-the-kerner-report-1967","ResultCount":-1,"SearchType":"Today"},{"FadeSummary":false,"SummaryText":"Norman B.

Playing soccer against others who were often two or three times his age displayed his potential for soccer stardom.  Today Adu is often considered one of the greatest of the youngest generation of American soccer players.\nAdu\u2019s mother Emelia Adu, provided a strong base for his young soccer career.  She worked multiple jobs to provide soccer equipment for Freddy and his younger brother.  She also wanted to give the Adu family a chance at higher education and prosperity.  They realized this chance in November 1997 when Freddy was just eight years old. His mother and father won a Green Card lottery which allowed them to permanently relocate from Ghana to the United States. He and his family first moved to Maryland and then later to Washington DC.  In 2003, Adu and his family became naturalized United States citizens.\nTo further his education and enhance his soccer skills, Freddy Adu entered a full-time residency program in Bradenton, Florida called IMG Soccer Academy.  The Academy is home to many of the best young soccer players in the United States.  After only two years with the Academy Freddy saw one of his dreams come true at just 14 years old.

The OAU was formed in 1963 when many African leaders wanted to accelerate the process of European decolonization and gain independence for a number of new nations. It also wanted to promote peaceful solutions to conflicts, ensure sovereignty forever, and raise living standards.\n However, the OAU was largely criticized from the beginning. Some countries still had deep ties to its colonial masters. Many countries associated themselves with the ideologies of either the United States or the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War.\nAlthough the OAU gave weapons to rebels and was successful in eliminating colonization, it could not eliminate the massive poverty problem.\n Its leaders were seen as corrupt and unconcerned for the welfare of the common people.
