Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

    Here of a Sunday morning
    My love and I would lie,
    And see the colored counties,
    And hear the larks so high
    About us in the sky.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
