President Obama walked past the N-word on his way to the Oval Office


President Obama walked past the N-word on his way to the Oval Office!


Ruby Bridges was the only black girl to attend a white public school in New Orleans, soon after desegregation was official in the 1960s. To commemorate this, Norman Rockwell painted a piece called "The Problem We All Live With," which shows her walking to school, escorted by police officers. Behind her, the n-word and "KKK" are written on a wall.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of her first walk to school, President Obama hung the painting on a hallway outside the Oval Office. It was on display from July - October of 2011.
