Norman Rockwell
In painting The Problem We All Live With it illustrates the event of the first African American to attend an unsegregated school. It is a moment that represented change for the world. The reason it is called The Problem We All Live With I believe is because the child has to be escorted and still none the less someone threw a tomatoe at the child. It shows how people don't share the same perspective on racial equality. This was done in 1964 yet we are in the year 2007 and sometimes we are still victems of racism. We may not change the past but we can work to a future where is equality knows no race or gender.

Well said. My mother sometimes relays childhood stories about the integration of schools and it make me realize the very real difficulties these minority children faced. The children were brave to attend these schools and faced many hardships which led to tolerance in future generations. Admittedly there is still work to be done, but the progress achieved has been tremendous.
