The White House's recent
addition of a Norman Rockwell painting has prompted a
serious discussion of civil rights. Rockwell's 1963
painting, "The Problem We All Live With" shows a
young girl on her way to first grade after the school
board mandated the desegregation of two New Orleans
schools in 1960. To commemorate the piece, President
Obama received a visit from Ruby Bridges, the student
depicted in the painting. At six years old, Bridges was
escorted by Federal Marshals to William Frantz Public
School as its first African American student, thereby
signaling the beginning of the integration of the local
public school system. THANK YOU Ruby Bridges. THANK YOU President Obama.
