Coming up on forum, New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb characterizes the warnings of the landmark 1968-Kernard report as strikingly relevant today.

In his new book, The Essential Kerner Commission, Cobb distills the commission's analysis of what led to explosive racial justice protests in the mid-60s,

and re-contextualizes it in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder.

In many ways, he does the same with a new documentary series on President Barack Obama,

re-examining the impact of America's first black president

in a nation still grappling with its racist history.

We'll talk to Cobb covers race, culture, history, and politics in his writings and documentary films. And he has two new projects released just in the

last 10 days, a re-examination of the 1968 Kerner Commission report, which looked at police

violence and the root causes of protests that were erupting across the country back then,

and an HBO documentary series on our 44th president titled Obama in pursuit

of a more perfect union.
