Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was an American illustrator He specialized in scenes of everyday small-town life. He was very popular. .
A little black girl is apparently walking to school, as can be seen by the books and the ruler she is holding in her left hand. She is surrounded by four large men, as if she was a prisoner.
We can observe that there are tomatoes splattered against the wall, and such aggressive graffiti as “nigger” and KKK (short for Ku Klux Klan [‘ku: kl ks ‘klæn]), which clearly shows that this little girl – and along her the whole black community – is the target of attacks from various hate groups.
The four men are federal policeman, as is shown by the armbands they are wearing, which read ‘US Marshall’. The role of federal officers is to enforce the law. They are her bodyguards and they have to protect her on her way to school. The fact that we can’t see their faces makes the little girl even more visible. It really focuses the attention on her. This could also mean that their role is more important than their person.
The contrast between this fragile-looking little girl and the four massive men is emphasized by the colours used. Her white clothes stress her innocence.
