The President’s National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders—known as the Kerner Commission—released
its report, condemning racism as the primary cause of
the recent surge of riots. Headed by Governor Otto
Kerner of Illinois, the 11-member commission was
appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in July
1967 to uncover the causes of urban riots and
recommend solutions.

THE WARREN COMMISSION HANDING OVER THEIR VOLUMINOUS REPORT ON THE ASSASSINATION
TO PRESIDENT JOHNSON (right).

On September 24, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson received
the Warren commission’s special report on the assassination of President John  F. Kennedy, which had occurred on November
22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Since the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed by a man
named Jack Ruby almost immediately after murdering
Kennedy, Oswald’s motive for assassinating the president
remained unknown.

The commission was led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and
became known as the Warren Commission. It concluded that
Oswald had acted alone and that the Secret Service had made
poor preparations for JFK’s visit to Dallas and had failed to
sufficiently protect him.

63 to 66 cents Sunday as part of increased mailing prices
approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission earlier this
year at the request of the USPS. The USPS said it needed more
money in part due to high inflation.
