Norman Rockwell family slams DHS over art use on social media
“Protect our American way of life,” one DHS post on Facebook from
August said, with an image of Rockwell’s 1971 painting “Salute the
Flag.” Another
post included an
image of Rockwell’s work along with a quote from
former President Coolidge: “Those who do not want to be partakers of the American
spirit
ought not to settle in America.”
USA Today Opinion: We're
Norman Rockwell's family. Trump's DHS has shamefully misused his work.
“I was born a White Protestant with some prejudices that I am
continuously
trying to eradicate,” Rockwell said in an interview in 1962. “I am angry at unjust
prejudices, in other people and in myself.”
