Colored Children

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or children:

“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

“If you tell children they are bad, that’s what they believe they are—and that’s probably what they will become.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
