I almost didn't post it because it's a few weeks old but I missed it. Very powerful.

I am in awe of every single Norman Rockwell painting. But this one, and the title itself, "The Problem We All Live With" is amazing.

I could have sworn somebody paged that video. Maybe I'm seeing things. :/

Ok, so I'm not losing my mind [Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...]
Ruby Bridges, Linda Brown, the Little Rock Nine, James Meredith, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Elizabeth Ekford, John Lewis, CORE (back when it was an actual civil rights organization)... they are a big deal to those of us no-names stuck with having to integrate white bigot schools while black, in later years.
Can't say I recommend the experience.
