25th Anniversary Issue This issue wraps up about...time Magazine’s celebration of 25 years of reflecting the African-American experience. Our overview provides some insights into and reprints of about...time stories the staff and readers say are the best. We hope our readers are stirred by this presentation of where we’ve been and are moved to talk to each other about who we are and where we’re going as a people.   Features by the editor that present an overview of the 25 years include: The Best of Times: Reflecting the African-American Experience; Close Calls: Stories That Presented a Challenge and They Gave Their Best: Staff and Writers Who Formed the Pulse of about...time. The LOOKING BACK section includes reprints of Associate Justice Thurgood Marshall, a Great American, by William J. Daniels; A Youthful Centenarian: Cynthia Fitzpatrick, 113 Years Old, by Valeria Elverton Dixon; Pierced Armor: Rhythms in Language, a Ballad for James Baldwin, by Adolph Dupree; and Louisiana Legend: Coach Eddie Robinson’s Reign at Grambling, by Adolph Dupree. Since a major emphasis of this publication is not to forget those at the community level who champion their people and help them regain control over their lives, All Seasons: Viola Marshall’s Soul of Ceaseless Compassion, by Shanel Odum, is presented as an example of that fine quality brought by such dedicated individuals.
