In 1964, Norman Rockwell's Civil Rights-era painting "The Problem We All Live With" depicted Ruby Bridges, the six-year-old black girl, who entered an all-white school in 1960, walking between deputy U.S. marshals with volleyed tomatoes and a racial slur staining the wall behind her. In 2015, artist Maggie Meiners reimagined the famous composition to explore the plight of another youth: this time, a Dreamer -- a child of undocumented immigrants given temporary protection under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
