Earl Ingram extends a heartfelt invitation to his friend Reggie Jackson to engage in a meaningful conversation about Black History and the events surrounding the civil rights movement of the 1960s. During their exchange, they jump into "The Kerner Report," a significant document produced by the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which was formed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in response to the riots of 1967. This crucial report was made public in March 1968. The Jim Crow laws were designed to obstruct the African American community from achieving success and building wealth, promoting the notion that individuals are not equal and that whites hold a "superior" status due to "white privilege." Interestingly, it is often white women who benefit from government programs, rather than Black individuals. Dr. Reggie Jackson also sheds light on a report that was published and subsequently retracted, titled "The Harvest of American Racism."
