The McCone Commission reports that a city sickness isolated Negroes in despair fueling Watts riots last August. It cites 34 deaths, 1032 wounded, $40 million damage, and 3952 arrests while urging jobs, education, health, and policing reforms to prevent future violence.
The commission attributes the August 1965 riots to multiple causes, condemns delays by authorities, and urges bold reforms. It calls for expanded education for Negro youths, job training, reduced class sizes, pre school programs, and a human relations focus in hiring. It also seeks better transit, health services, and police community relations to address ghetto deprivation.
