Katherine Harris Pomerantz

Amanda Gorman by Awol Erizku. Two shining stars in TIME’s latest issue: The Black Renaissance. Ibram X. Kendi writes “... if the Harlem Renaissance stirred Black people to see themselves, if the Black Arts Movement stirred Black people to love themselves, then the Black Renaissance is stirring Black people to be themselves. Totally. Unapologetically. Freely.” 📸 Produced by @paulmoakley 💕

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are TIME’s 2020 Person of the Year. “I will be the first, but I will not be the last,” says Harris. “That’s about legacy, that’s about creating a pathway, that’s about leaving the door more open than it was when you walked in.” ❤️ Thank you @camilafalquez for your wondrous spirit and an unforgettable shoot! Thank you @paulmoakley a million times over🙏 !

In this most unique year, we collaborated with 7 different brilliant photographers to make 8 covers, orchestrated beautifully with precision and good humor by @dilysng ✨ Thank you... @stefanruizphoto (Dr. Anthony Fauci) @kaylareefer (Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors) @paolakudacki (Amy O’Sullivan and Sundar Pichai) @danascruggs (Megan Thee Stallion) @nabil (The Weeknd) @kingtexas (Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union) @nhuxuanhua (Tsai Ing-wen) Special thanks also to @kimbubello @paulmoakley @theatraff @katzandrew 💕

“In her expression, I see the black mothers who are unseen, and rendered helpless in this fury against their babies,” writes Titus Kaphar, who created the cover of this week’s issue of TIME. “As I listlessly wade through another cycle of violence against black people, I paint a black mother … eyes closed, furrowed brow, holding the contour of her loss.” For the first time, surrounding Kaphar's painting, the red border of TIME includes the names of people: 35 black men and women whose deaths, in many cases by police, were the result of systemic racism and helped fuel the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. The names are Trayvon Martin, Yvette Smith, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Laquan McDonald, Tanisha Anderson, Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice, Jerame Reid, Natasha McKenna, Eric Harris, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray, William Chapman, Sandra Bland, Darrius Stewart, Samuel DuBose, Janet Wilson, Calin Roquemore, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Joseph Mann, Terence Crutcher, Chad Robertson, Jordan Edwards, Aaron Bailey, Stephon Clark, Danny Ray Thomas, Antwon Rose, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Michael Dean, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd.

A portfolio by @adamfergusonstudio in this week’s issue showcases some of the people at the heart of Hong Kong’s rebellion. At the movement’s core are high school and university students who are willing to use violence and gamble away their futures if it helps preserve their home. 🙏@katzandrew @adamfergusonstudio
