Abstract

The article focuses on the collaboration between artist Lavett Ballard and author Isabel Wilkerson to create a cover for TIME that challenges readers to reflect on America's barriers to equality. Ballard's artwork incorporates themes of American slavery, book banning, and the January 6 Capitol attack, while also highlighting positive figures in American history, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Viola Liuzzo. Through her layered imagery, Ballard aims to connect the past and present, emphasizing the importance of recognizing ordinary individuals who have resisted caste-based oppression. The piece serves as a call to acknowledge this history to inspire a more equitable future. [Extracted from the article]
