FILE – In this July 24, 1967 file photo, a Michigan State police officer searches a youth on Detroit’s 12th Street where looting was still in progress after the previous day’s rioting. The last surviving member of the Kerner Commission says he remains haunted that the panel’s recommendations on US race relation and poverty were never adopted, but he is hopeful they will be one day. Former U.S. Sen. Fred Harris says 50 years after working on a report to examine the causes of the late 1960s race riots he strongly feels that poverty and structural racism still enflames racial tensions even as the United States becomes more diverse.
