Elizabeth Alexander leads The New Yorker’s June 22, 2020 issue with a deeply personal reflection on how witnessing ongoing race-based violence and police brutality has shaped the worldview of young Black people, including her sons. “What does it mean for our young people to be ‘black alive and looking back at you?’”
