Ruby Bridges painting goes up in Obama White House | NOLA.com: "New Orleans Civil Rights pioneer Ruby Bridges met with President Obama today to celebrate the hanging of the famous Norman Rockwell painting, “The Problem We All Live With.”
Rockwell’s painting depicts 6-year-old Bridges surrounded by federal marshals as she integrated William Frantz Elementary in New Orleans in 1960. The painting, which was on the cover of Look Magazine in 1964 and immediately became an important image of the Civil Rights Movement, was hung in the White House to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the integration of public elementary schools in the South."
