What did these stand for in their time? How did they shape perception and generate support for the war effort? Who were they speaking to and who was left out? What do they mean to us today?

VIDEO: Freedom’s Legacy: A Conversation with Ruby Bridges
After ending his forty-seven year career with The Post in 1963, Rockwell sought new artistic challenges. His first assignment for Look—The Problem We All Live With—portrayed a six-year-old African-American girl being escorted by U.S. marshals to her first day at an all-white school in New Orleans, an assertion on moral decency.

Reimagining The Four Freedoms – video
What does freedom mean in the 21st century? In celebration of the 75th anniversary of “The Four Freedoms,” Norman Rockwell Museum teamed up with New York’s Capital Area Art Supervisors to present a unique exhibition that examined President Franklin Delano’s concept, famously painted by artist Norman Rockwell, from the perspective of a new generation. In this video, we meet with participating artists from Guilderland High School, Niskayuna High School, and Shaker High School in New York State, to find out what freedom means to them.
