"Why did he race riots during the civil rights movement start?
What can be done so it doesn't happen again?"

President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Illinois Democratic Gov. Otto
Kerner to chair a national commission expressly to explore those
questions. The Kerner Commission Report of 1968 is a land mark
document. The cycle of poverty and institutionalized racism were
identified. The civil rights movement did not cause rioting, although
the 1968 Republican primaries found it to be a good issue. The
"Southern Strategy" has been an important leg of the GOP stool ever
since.
