The Power & Legacy bundle brings together both 2025 print issues of Black Copper, tracing a year-long exploration of history, memory, and transformation across Black and POC communities. The April Issue, The Unspoken Truth: Reimagining Power, Past and Future, examines how historical injustices continue to shape contemporary identities while illuminating the ways power is being reclaimed, redefined, and reimagined through art and cultural expression. The September Issue, Inheritance: Deconstructing Our Shared Histories, turns toward legacy—asking what we carry forward, what we release, and how personal and collective histories inform new futures rooted in intention, care, and possibility. Together, these issues form a cohesive archival set—one year, two conversations, and an ongoing commitment to critical storytelling and cultural dialogue.
