jeffrey brown took a look at the work of judy baca for our arts and culture series, "canvas." a half mile along the concrete banks of a river in the san fernando valley, 13-foot-high panels that tell a history of a city. it's called "the great wall of los angeles," one of the largest murals in the world, designed and painted, with a little help from her friends, by judy baca. >> the story i wanted to tell was the story of the history that wasn't recorded in the history books. the history of people of color, the history of women, the indigenous people. to look at what was missing from the story of america, and to reconstruct that and teach it to the young people who'd begin to learn about each other. jeffrey: many of the ideas and stories came from local community members. and so did the actual painting, the work of some 400 people working hand in hand with baca. it was the 1970s and early 1980s, the beginnings of a commitment to a public art that would reach and benefit those around her. fast forward to today, a celebration of that commitment, in her first major retrospective

brown, who wrote a book about the case "per vugs of justice: the jeffrey epstein story."every day? what are the factors making it hard to cover the trial and helping maybe to cause these crazy theories? >> that's right. the reason why it's very difficult to get in and out of a federal courtroom to begin with because of the security, obviously, but also because they have rules where you can't have cameras in there and you also can't have cell phones in there. so we have to literally go in, go out and get -- drop our phones, go in and come out, get our phones, go through security over and over again so logistically it's a nightmare to cover this case in federal court. >> there's this meme always that every story in the news these days, why has the media not reported on this? they obviously only know about the story because of the media. but there's something different here, deeper conspiracy theory implying the media is trying to cover up sex trafficking. do you see this online the way i have and how do you react to it? >> i think it's really misguided because the issue her

jeffrey clark come in physically on saturday and answer questions. it's going to have to be question by question. that said, the fifth amendment is very brown. while he has to answer specific questions like what is your name, do you have a license to practice law, basically anything leading to the run-up of january 6th he will likely take the fifth amendment as to those claims. it's important to understand what it does and does not protect jeffrey clark from. henao cannot be charged with criminal contempt if he takes the fifth because that's a legally valid basis to not answer questions. however, he can still be charged with any other crimes he may have committed around january 6th. they just won't have his own statement to use against him. >> if he's trying to protect himself from incriminating himself, what are the specific crimes he could have committed? >> boy, do i have a list here. let's remember what jeffrey clark did. he wrote a memo when he was one of the highest ranking members of doj saying we have detected significant potential election fraud in georgia. you ought to call a special election and appoint a different slate of elect
