Rockwell's Four Freedoms offer a wide range of opportunities for teaching: in cultural history, in social studies, in art, and of course in language studies, both intermediate and advanced.
Freedom of Speech was Rockwell's first painting, achieved after a number of false starts, in which the focus was diffuse or the meaning incompletely articulate.
While this is the least well-known of all four paintings, today, and the one most evidently dated by everything from headline to doll to costume to gender-roles, it is perhaps the most useful to assign as a historical document to parse out and analyze.

Today, the four freedoms that millions fought to defend are under attack--in part because we forget why people fought World War II, we deny what led to the Holocaust, we fail to live up to the promise of the civil rights movement, and we refuse to heal the wounds of the Vietnam War era.
