Editor's note: The cover art of this issue is
by Pamela Chatterton-Purdy, from her Icons
of the Civil Rights Movement, selections of
which we were honored to publish in our
third issue. Pamela kindly gave us
permission to reuse the 16th Street Baptist
Church icon as a cover for this issue. The
recent act of racism and terror in
Charleston has a historical and social
context that has been too often ignored and
denied. Peace and justice cannot take
root in this void created by ignorance and
denial. We hope this cover image will be
part of the collective voice speaking against
the void, and we hope it honors those to
whom this issue is dedicated.
