Black Families

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or families:

    “why
    Do our black faces search the empty sky?
    Is there something we have forgotten? some precious thing
    We have lost, wandering in strange lands?”
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    “In families children tend to take on stock roles, as if there were hats hung up in some secret place, visible only to the children. Each succeeding child selects a hat and takes on that role: the good child, the black sheep, the clown, and so forth.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
