Our foreign policy must always be an extension of this nation’s domestic policy...
1968

A black and white photograph capturing a moment of civil unrest, with a crowd of people, some appearing distressed, as a police officer in riot gear swings a baton towards them. In the foreground, individuals are seen falling or crouching to avoid the baton. The bottom of the image features a quote by Lyndon Baines Johnson about foreign policy being an extension of domestic policy.
