Answer 1

Poverty that resulted from years of discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Kerner Commission was a Presidential commission established by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967. The commission drew a report on the riots that caused tension in the United States in the summers of 1967.

While the riots were still going on in Detroit, Michigan, President assigned a commission to find the causes that led to these riots. The cause addressed in the report was the poor neighbourhood conditions of black Americans and limited economic conditions resulted from years of discrimination.

Therefore, the statement that "poverty that resulted from years of

discrimination" is the correct answer.
