Dear Jana and Megan:

 

Was reading the latest edition of Time magazine and came across a picture of the Ruby Bridges painting by Norman Rockwell. It is now outside of the OVAL OFFICE in Washington, DC. until the end of October, 2011.

 

Thought you'd enjoy this story and perhaps post it for the docents to read.

And to think it hung at Tacoma Art Museum just a month ago!! Be sure to watch the little video clip attached to see Ruby and Obama!
