The problem we all live with

Norman Rockwell, 1964

The painting :

The lines on the pavement/sidewalk : it looks like a timeline .

Slavery→ segregation → desegregation → civil rights → freedom ?

Ruby just crossed the segregation line and she’s walking into the civil rights period.

The crack on the wall : It crosses the insult ‘nigger’, it represents the end of segregation : people don’t want racism anymore.

The smashed tomato : it looks like an eagle, the symbol of the USA.

Symbols of the USA : the white stars on a blue background (on Ruby’s copybooks), the red pen, the different lines in the painting….
