A special edition 20 cover issue of this Months Vanity Fair - Focus on Africa grabs the thoughts of Jay-Z, Muhammad Ali, Bono, Alicia Keys, Chris Rock, Maya Angelou, Barack Obama and others.
“I can still remember my first trip to Africa, two decades ago, when my sister’s Volkswagen Beetle broke down,” says Senator Barack Obama. “When I went back recently we had better transportation. But there was another difference. While that first trip was about discovering my past, my recent trip was about Africa’s future. And it filled me with hope—because while significant obstacles remain, I believe we have the chance to build more equitable and just societies so that all people have the chance to control their own destinies.”
Barack Obama
