Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

“The colored people arrive, sit firmly down,
Eat their Express Spaghetti, their T-bone steak,
Handling their steel and crockery with no clatter,
Laugh punily, rise, go firmly out of the door.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

““But, mother, I won’t be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free.””
—Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
