Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

“There are three kinds of people:
White people, Colored people
and Black people.”
—Peter Abrahams (b. 1919)

“Many children grow through adolescence with no ripples whatever and land smoothly and predictably in the adult world with both feet on the ground. Some who have stumbled and bumbled through childhood suddenly burst into bloom. Most shake, steady themselves, zigzag, fight, retreat, pick up, take new bearings, and finally find their own true balance.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
