Hi everyone,
I am posting a rough timeline with just what I could come up with off of the top of my head. Hopefully this will evolve into a collaborative effort. I think that a timeline like this could be used as a useful tool on the streets when trying to wake people up during outreach. Since I do not think that just a list of these laws with dates would be much use by themselves, I will eventually add what each one means to the average person when I get the chance. If you have constructive criticism for anything I have listed here, I am all ears.
