People magazine has named Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, actress Sandra Oh, country icon Dolly Parton and the country’s teachers as “People of the Year 2021”.
“This year has been a transformative year and has made us all create something new and hopefully better for our lives,” the magazine says. “This issue reflects that spirit: Our People of the Year cover stars have all played a pioneering role in their field to make the world a little better.”
Parton has been cited for giving away millions of books and supporting COVID-19 research, and Oh has been hailed for fighting anti-Asian hatred and working on “transformative stories.” People said Biles’ focus on mental health “redefined what it means to win in sport”. And the country’s more than 3 million teachers have “done everything to ensure that our nation’s children have great opportunities.”
The new issue will hit the kiosks on Friday.
Last year, George Clooney, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Selena Gomez and Regina King named “People of the Year 2020”.
