Racial and Ethnic Tensions in American Communities- Poverty, Inequality, and Discrimination The Chicago Il Report

The 3rd vol. of a series of reports by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. It is the product of a 3-day factfinding hearing, sworn testimonies of numerous witnesses, subpoenaed data, as well as months of field investigation & research. Focuses on 3 sources of racial & ethnic tensions in Chicago: unequal econ. opportunity, unequal access to public services, & poor police-community relations. The Commission concludes that distinct differences exist among racial & ethnic groups in both econ. opportunity & access to public services. Although the report's recommendations are primarily directed to the city of Chicago & the State of IL, several civil rights issues require Fed. attention.Berry, Mary Frances is the author of 'Racial and Ethnic Tensions in American Communities- Poverty, Inequality, and Discrimination The Chicago Il Report' with ISBN 9780756722111 and ISBN 075672211X.
