For his first assignment for Look Magazine, Rockwell, inspired by the story of Ruby Bridges, sought to represent the experiences and stories of young Black children facing the violence of desegregation in 1950s South. Ordered to proceed with school desegregation after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling, Louisiana lagged behind until pressure from Federal Judge Skelly Wright forced the school board to begin desegregation on November 14, 1960. Today, the painting remains one of Rockwell's most enduringly poignant images of American culture.
