annie flanagan’s

favorite moments in

photography happen when

their subjects forget the

camera. For the portrait of

Mississippi activist Laurie

Bertram Roberts (“Where

Roe Doesn’t Reach,” page 24),

Flanagan sat on a bedroom

floor for two hours, talking

with Roberts until the right

moment arrived. Their work

has been published in the

New York Times, espn, and

Smithsonian magazine.

At first, michaela haas be-

lieved it was rare for rape sur-

vivors to have to battle their

assailants in court for custody

of their children. Then she

started talking to the lawyers

and women at the center of

the issue—and realized it

is more common than she

thought (“When Your Rapist

Demands Custody,” page 30).

Haas, a journalist and moti-

vational speaker, is the author

of four books, including one

on overcoming trauma.

j. weston phippen drove

a cream-colored 1964 Volks-

wagen Beetle from Phoe-

nix to Las Cruces, New

Mexico, in college to attend

an event hosted by immigra-

tion lawyer Carlos Spector.

The Bug broke down and he

missed the event, but eight

years later, as a reporter,

Phippen met Spector in El

Paso, Texas, for an interview

(“Hold the Line,” page 46). He

is a former editor at Outside

magazine and the Atlantic.

To tell the story of a small

Oakland public school’s

closure, edwin rios spent

this spring roaming its

locker-lined halls, watching

YouTube with its sixth grad-

ers, and getting deep with the

school principal (“Class War-

fare,” page 4). Rios, who has

spent three years reporting

on education and inequality

for Mother Jones, has cov-

ered segregation, teachers’

strikes, and a school dis-

trict devastated by wildfire.
