Eric Garner and Michael Brown Join MLK as Civil Rights Martyrs on New Yorker's Cover

'Dream of Reconciliation' also includes slain officer Wenjian Liu

Over the past year, race relations in America have been more volatile than at almost any time since the 1960s, a fact The New Yorker's cover next week will highlight in a bold way.

Created to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the cover illustration by Barry Blitt is called "The Dream of Reconciliation" and shows King marching alongside several black men whose deaths drew protests after a lack of prosecution or conviction: Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
