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)

“For he purrs in thankfulness, when God tell him he’s a good Cat.
For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
