Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

    See, I’m so light, it don’t seem right
    to go to the colored rest room;
    my daughter’s brown, and folks frown on that in Texas,
    I just don’t know how to go to the bathroom in the free world!
    Ray Durem (1915–1963)

    A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
    Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)
