“The Problem We All Live With,” published in LOOK in 1964, is one of Norman Rockwell’s later, more politically charged works, serving as a powerful visual commentary on segregation and racism in America.
It captures Ruby Bridges’ walk to school on November 14, 1960, following a federal court order to integrate New Orleans schools. In light of the significant public backlash against this decision, the six-year-old girl required protection from federal marshals as she made her way to class. (ss)
