A Picture and its Story: The stories behind the standout images from the U.S. election
Dana Clark and her 18-month-old son Mason wait in line at City Hall as early voting begins for the upcoming presidential election in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S., October 16, 2020. Photographer Kathleen Flynn: "Teacher Dana Clark was adjusting a "safety pod" over her and her son as I passed the voting line on Oct. 16, the first day of early voting in New Orleans. She had bought the pod to use in the classroom with her fifth-grade students, hoping to protect them, as well as her own kids and her husband, who has underlying health issues, from COVID-19. The image, which garnered 46k likes on Twitter, seemed to express a convergence of widely felt emotions: fear of contagion, hope for a child's future, pressures on educators and a wish for racial justice."
