In and out of prison for more than 25 years, he now hopes to have his own food truck.

For Billy Johnson, alcohol and drug abuse forced him to live a life on the streets even though his family “wasn’t a street family.” “My life has been one crisis after another,” said Billy. To him, the American dream means everyone has the same opportunities to achieve success, but it may be harder for some than others. Produced by WETA.
