On Wednesday, Ebony magazine revealed its February cover featuring some truly beautiful art: a reimagining Grant Wood’s American Gothic as a black family bracing themselves for a world where Donald Trump is the President of the United States.
Kadir Nelson provides the artwork, and the issue asks how the black families and the larger black community can survive the Trump era.

The issue features commentary from The Root’s Kirsten West Savali, Jelani Cobb, Isabel Wilkerson and more.
