In honor of the MLK Special Issue, The Atlantic commissioned artist and photographer
LaToya Ruby Frazier to photograph Chicago, Baltimore, and Memphis from the air. In her
aerial photography, Frazier explains, the specter of oppression is writ large. “The history is
written on that landscape and the body of its inhabitants,” says Frazier. “It became very
clear to me how Freddie Gray lived in an environment that is toxic… it just looks like a
target from the air.”
