   Happy Birthday to Ruby Bridges, born Sep 8, 1954.

   "The Problem We All Live With" is the title of this iconic painting by Norman Rockwell from 1964. On the wall behind Ruby Bridges are the words "nigger", the letters "KKK" and a smashed and splattered tomato.

   It is a terrifying image, yet one that depicts young black Ruby as a pillar of strength, poised, unafraid, unperturbed, books and ruler in hand, walking into the future.
