City Councilmembers react to report from National Urban Coalition.

Description:
Reporter Cecilia Pedroza interviews Los Angeles City Council members Joel Wachs, Billy G. Mills, Marvin Braude, Arthur K. Snyder and Edmund D. Edelman following the release of the National Urban Coalition special commission report (1971) by Senator Fred R. Harris (D) of Oklahoma and Mayor John Lindsay of New York. Findings of the report concluded that life in major cities in the United States had deteriorated since the release of the landmark Kerner Report in 1968. The Kerner Report, the end product of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (known as the Kerner Commission), determined that institutional racism and lack of economic opportunity, amongst other issues were the cause of urban rebellions seen in U.S. cities during the summer of 1967. The clip also includes interview footage with Edward M. Davis, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, reacting to the report and other topics. Some footage is silent shots of street scenes and businesses.
