The Kerner Commission originally known as National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, was created for the purpose of carrying out an investigation on the causes of the 1967 race riots in the United States and to provide recommendations for the future.

The 1967 Detroit Riot, otherwise known as 12th street Riot, was mainly confrontations between black residents and the Detroit Police Department, it started in the early morning hours of Sunday July 23, 1967, in Detroit, Michigan.

The commission was headed by the then Governor Otto Kerner, Jr. of Illinois, comprising of 11-member Presidential Commission established by President Lyndon B. Johnson in Executive Order 11365 to investigate for the future.
