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)

    Most women without children spend much more time than men on housework; with children, they devote more time to both housework and child care. Just as there is a wage gap between men and women in the workplace, there is a “leisure gap” between them at home. Most women work one shift at the office or factory and a “second shift” at home.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
