Premature mortality and the long decline of hope in America

Graciela Guzman (R) and her daughter Maria pose in front of their home in Gosen City, a slum in the Villa Maria del Triunfo municipality on the outskirts of Lima April 10, 2014. Guzman was one of the founders of Gosen City more than 12 years ago, and managed to build her own home in 2009. Her daughter Maria studies graphic design in Lima. A number of residents in Gosen City, a slum that grew up near a garbage dump on the outskirts of Lima, have seen their lives improve as parts of Peru feel the effects of years of economic growth. Peru's President Ollanta Humala has pledged to cut poverty to 15 percent by the end of his term in July 2016. He is still a long way from his goal, but the poverty rate is coming down, falling just under two percentage points to 23.9 percent in 2013 from the prior year. Picture taken April 10, 2014.

Cora Gates, 68, a grandmother, poses for a portrait outside her family home in Ferguson, Missouri July 23, 2015. When asked how Michael Brown's death affected her life, Gates said, "It didn't affect my life at all. I still sit on the porch like normal. I heard the guns but I didn't do nothing so I don't have to be afraid of nobody." When asked what changes she has seen in her community over the past year, Gates said, "I don't get out of the house much so I cannot say." On August 9, 2014 a white police officer shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown dead in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. A year later Reuters photographer Adrees Latif returned to Ferguson, where he has documented events in the past year, to capture the portraits of local residents and canvass their views.

A woman walks past a fenced-up store in downtown Gary, Indiana, October 23, 2013. Struggling U.S. Rust Belt cities for years have tried to counter the loss of manufacturing jobs with big, expensive projects including casinos and stadiums. Now, Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson is going small with strategic, narrowly focused ideas such as selling vacant homes for $1, demolishing derelict buildings and basic neighborhood clean-up projects that produce immediate results.
