Rockwell's painting The Problem We All Live With takes place while a little African American girl is being escorted to school by U.S Marshals and it commemorates the integration of the school systems. I think Rockwell decided to title this piece The Problem We All Live With because inequality is a constant problem that people in society struggle with. This title could also mean that whether you have a problem with the integration of the school systems or whether you have a problem with the way this little girl is being treated, either way its a problem that we all have to live with. If integration was a problem for someone they were going to have to live with it because it was happening whether they liked it or not. If the problem was the way the young girl is being treated for trying to get an education, then it was going to have to be tolerated because the actions of others can't be controlled. Inequality and hatred are problems we all have to live with simply because they exist.

I completely agree with you on what the title means.
I agree, people are just going to have to deal with the problems.
