Johnson and the LEAA created from Civil Rights Act backlash, through Reagan's War on Drugs, Clinton's redefining Three Strikes, and ending in Trump's anti-immigrant, anti-minority America, this visual history concludes, asking, What laws and perspectives must change to prevent minor crimes from leading to life sentences?
