Editorial: Inaugural Week Activities Refuted by Reports
The piece argues readers should study the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders and the task force report to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. It contends the Chicago study blames police for summer riots, while the other indicts white racism as a root cause, urging reflection to prevent future city disorders. It emphasizes that critiquing the sources is less important than learning from events and rejecting calls to hatred or division among Americans.
