- In 1960, black students in Greensboro, North Carolina, sit in front of a restaurant for six months before being served.
- The nature of the document is a painting by Norman Rockwell which is 91 X 150 cm which is in the United States, in the state of Massachussets, in the town of Stockbridge in the Norman Rockwell Museum.
- It depicts Ruby Bridges, a six-year-old African-American girl, on her way to a New Orleans school attended only by white children on 14 November 1960, during the process of desegregation of blacks and whites. Because of threats against her, she is escorted by four marshal's deputies charged with her protection; the painting is framed so that the bodies of the authority figures are cut off at the shoulders, and thus their faces do not appear. On the wall in the background appears the word 'Nigger' - a violent racial slur - and the inscription 'KKK', the acronym of the Ku Klux Klan. A crushed tomato on the wall is also visible. The crowd watching the scene is not depicted, the painter's point of view being his own.
