"The problem we all live with" by Norman Rockwell. Relevant today.

This was one of Rockwell's magazine covers. I wonder what he would do today.

Kind of hard to believe he could skip that subject, it's so in-our-faces prevalent.

The civil rights movement greatly affected Rockwell. He was appalled at the violence and hate of the segregationists and their disregard for the humanity of people struggling to exercise their rights. The civil rights movement changed Rockwell and his vision of America that he had so often celebrated in his works.
