NPR's Robert Siegel talks with former Oklahoma Democratic Sen. Fred Harris. Harris is the last living member of the original Kerner Commission, which was formed under President Johnson to investigate why the riots occurred and what can be done to prevent rioting in the future. The conclusions of the report drew backlash from many, including President Johnson.https://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&utmdt=50+Years+On%2C+Sen.+Fred+Harris+Remembers+Great+Hostility+During+1967+Race+Riots&utme=8(APIKey)9(MDAxNzk1MDc4MDEyMTU0NTY4ODBlNmE3Yw001)
