“A year later, Boston has shown the strength to carry on. I’m proud that Sports Illustrated was able to contribute, in a small way, to that process with this cover. You can see in the faces of the people of Boston, how far they’ve come, together as a city," said Brad Smith, Sports Illustrated's director of photography in a post on SI.com.
You can zoom in and find individuals in the picture. Friends and family of those in the photo already began to identify their loved ones.
