Governors Kerner Sees U.S. Slipping Toward Separate Societies
Mayors from 25 Illinois cities heard Gov. Otto Kerner reiterate the commission on civil disorders finding that the nation is moving toward segregated, unequal societies. He urged new attitudes and local programs to involve ghetto residents in public policy, noting disorders last summer reflected more environment than race. Local mayors attending included Richard Daley’s absence, with Carbondale Mayor David Keene to join later.
