The November/December 2015 issue of Message Magazine. The front cover features a black and white photo of an African American man in a jail cell. He is standing behind bars with his hands gripped around the bars in front of him. He is wearing a white, long-sleeve, button down shirt and a tie. There is another man in the background, standing behind his proper right shoulder. At the top of the magazine there is a rectangle with vertical stripes in red and orange. There are headlines typed in yellow. Below, there is a thin grey rectangle that reads [NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2015] in white. Below the rectangle, and partially going over the man's face, it reads [MESSAGE] in large white letters. Headlines on the proper right side of the magazine include [Weight Of/INJUSTICE/Coming to terms with/America's Past] and [The/HONOR of/Healing/Toward a fix for the/Troubled Black Heart], typed in various sizes and colors.
