For example, with his work « moving in » made in 1967 he highlights a black family moving into a white residential area, four children, two of color and two white are observing each other.

A slab on the ground marks a boundary between them, but in short Norman Rockwell used children to show, that in their innocent minds, color doesn’t matter, they don’t judge and don’t discriminate by themselves, they do that because we told them to do it.

As all children they just want to have fun and make some friends, whatever the color.

It also proves that the next generation of mixed-color children who grew up together will probably be more tolerant and more likely to abolish all forms of discrimination.

In an other painting of Norman Rockwell called « freedom from want » et made in 1942, a typical wasp family is represented.

in short an exemplary American family, who seems to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.

But when we know that thanksgiving comes from a mixture of cultures on American soil, namely Indian cultures and European cultures that meet and mix in a new space.

we could think that this reference to this very important holiday, suggests that beyond this idyllic representation of the USA the question we can ask are if this family representation is really representative of the American society in all its diversity ?

Is this a real melting pod which means a society in which the population lives freely without worrying about the origins of colors etc, or is this a saladbowl, a society in where communities live harmoniously and peacefully but between which There aren’t any real mixtures and exchanges.

To conclude we can say that in the first place, our documents used, are adapted to the theme of space and exchange because they evoke, a place, in this case the usa but also the world, and exchanges between populations related to migration.

they also talk about human and social exchange and sharing between communities.

Over the years it’s thanks to many small events such as those mentioned priviously that communities have lived in tolerance and accepted each other.

Despite this, anti Black racism persists.

For 325 millions people who lived in the usa more than half, is composed of Hispanic, Native American, Black, Asian and European.

And in this large percentage today, racist crimes have increased of 26% around the election of Donald Trump.

There are still many organizations, like kkk for instance who claims their convictions in all legality, so despite of this evolutions, laws and campaigns against racism.

It remains rooted in some very backward spirits.
