The Problem We All Live With

Norman Rockwell's oil painting "The Problem We All Live With", showing a young Black girl carrying her books and a yellow ruler, wearing a white dress and sneakers, walking on a sidewalk past a wall covered by a large racial slur and the remnants of a hurled tomato. In front of and behind her are four white men in gray and tan suits and yellow "Deputy US Marshall" armbands escorting her; the composition is such that they are visible only from the chest down. Rockwell's signature is at the bottom center of the painting.

Yesterday was Ruby Bridges' 72nd birthday; she's still alive and living in Louisiana and still working for civil rights. The past isn't dead; it isn't even past.
