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

A historical black and white photograph depicting a chaotic scene with a crowd of protesters and police officers in riot gear. One officer is wielding a baton towards the protesters, while several individuals appear to be either falling to the ground or trying to move away from the confrontation. The image has a yellowed, aged appearance with some tears and creases, indicating it is an old photograph. There is a quote at the bottom attributed to Lyndon Baines Johnson about foreign policy being an extension of domestic policy.
