Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:
“See, Im so light, it dont seem right
to go to the colored rest room;
my daughters brown, and folks frown on that in Texas,
I just dont know how to go to the bathroom in the free world!”
—Ray Durem (19151963)
“I concluded that I was skilled, however poorly, at only one thing: marriage. And so I set about the business of selling myself and two children to some unsuspecting man who might think me a desirable second-hand mate, a man of good means and disposition willing to support another mans children in some semblance of the style to which they were accustomed. My heart was not in the chase, but I was tired and there was no alternative. I could not afford freedom.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
