VANITY FAIR: The Africa Issue

I'm not usually one to pimp periodicals, but the July issue of Vanity Fair is definitely worth picking up. The tough part will be deciding which one to pick up. Twenty-one people put their famous faces on 20 different covers, all shot by world famous photographer, Annie Leibovitz. Cover celebs include: Bono, Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelou, George W. Bush, George Clooney, Bill Gates, Djimon Hounsou, Jay-Z, Madonna, Brad Pitt, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Oprah Winfrey and more.
This special edition is guest-edited by Bono himself, who asserts that if he weren't in music, he'd be a journalist. The issue touches on all the main issues surrounding Africa today: poverty, AIDS and politics, as well as personal accounts from several active celebrities. Jeffrey Sach's $200 Billion Dream about the eradication of poverty in Africa is particularly compelling and poignant.
Prepare to be inspired and moved to participate in a global effort to repay what population geneticists call "humanity's first home."
