Mayor Cory Booker of Newark

Forty years after race riots in Detroit, Newark, and dozens of other cities stunned the nation, has anything changed? Bill Moyers interviews Newark Mayor Cory Booker for a frontline report on race and politics today.

Part 1 of this program is an update of the Kerner Commission Report, which blamed the violence that erupted in Newark and Detroit in the summer of 1967, on the devastating poverty and hopelessness endemic in the inner cities of the 1960s and includes an interview with former Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris, one of the last living members of the Kerner Commission.
