As we learned in this video, minority groups are differentially imprisoned in our country. You are to create an infographic highlighting facts (outside of facts presented in the video) about differential incarceration.

Here are some questions that you may want to ask yourself as you think about your infographic design:

What facts or statistics discussed in this video stood out to you the most?

• In order to create an infographic, you may use the following tools:
• Adobe Photoshop

Microsoft PowerPoint
