A little boy who was holding the hand of his 13-year-old friend when #Myanmar’s junta forces shot and killed him weeps at his funeral. Unbearable.

After three weeks on oxygen, Rafa passed away. The Reuters Venezuela team, which benefited from his ex-cop street smarts, fun disposition and selflessness, is devastated. His wife and two young kids even more so. Please consider donating to the family:
Last week we lost our dear friend Rafael Jimenez to COVID-19. He was a driver and security advisor who kept the Reuters Venezuela bureau safe during a decade tumultuous coverage. Please help us support Rafa's family. gofundme.com/f/support-the-f…

When the coronavirus pandemic scaled the walls of Star City - and potentially came an inch of glass from travelling to space - one doctor found herself in a desperate situation.
A story of fear, blame and bravery in one of Russia's most secretive places.

James Hill had served his time and was awaiting deportation to his native Canada. Then COVID swept through his ICE detention center. A powerful story by @MicaRosenberg about "a free man who was still a prisoner." reuters.com/article/us-healt… via @karihow @specialreports @Reuters

When Ole Miss unveiled its statue of James Meredith, who forced the school to integrate in 1962, John Lewis was the keynote speaker. Both men were willing to die for racial equality. One remains, one is departed. Read @jschney's @Reuters @specialreports reut.rs/3fNyUIk

You can't watch this without tears. Thank you, activist, Congressman and author John Lewis.
In November 2016, I had the joy of a lifetime. Not winning the @NationalBook award for #StampedfromtheBeginning, but winning alongside John Lewis who won a National Book Award for his co-authored graphic novel, MARCH: BOOK THREE. I will never forget his acceptance speech. 1/3

My latest (with @karihow) on long-lasting couples trying to survive the pandemic. A love story, but also a portrait of a civil rights icon navigating the interrelated historical storms of COVID and America’s renewed racial reckoning.reuters.com/investigates/spe…

"I have rape-colored skin...If there are those who want to remember the legacy of the Confederacy, if they want monuments, well, then, my body is a monument." As powerful a piece of writing as I've read in my life. @caroranwill nyti.ms/3eE8gAL

Late to this, but everyone should read it. “Lifelong pacifist”, “a home helper for many years”, “he loved his wife and said ‘yes dear’ a lot” - the little snippets of lost humanity on the most devastating front page I’ve ever seen.
