Charles David Ginsburg (April 20, 1912 – May 23, 2010) was an American political advisor and lawyer who was among the founders of Americans for Democratic Action and served as executive director of the Kerner Commission, which concluded that the rioting of 1967 was caused not by radicals or riffraff but was instead a response to decades of pervasive discrimination and segregation and which warned that the U.S. was "moving toward two societies—one Black, one white, separate and unequal."
