The Problem We Still Live With


Years ago, in college, in one of my art classes, a professor used Norman Rockwells "The Problem We All Live With" (which showed a small black girl being escorted to school by US Marshals) as a sample of the influence and importance of art and imagery in our lives.
That image was and still is a very powerful one.
Rockwell painted it after seeing Alabama governor George Wallace blocking black students from entering a school.
I'm no Rockwell, but I think the picture he painted serves well even today and of all places, once again...Alabama.

I remember that Rockwell painting and I think you've done a splendid tribute to his idea and adding it to the current situation at hand!

Like it, good job.

Well done enough to make the point, but you can include the rest of the south and most of the midwest too. You know, the ones that rant the loudest about religion...even though they ignore the simple truth that it was meant to teach and live by. B
