Colored Flag

Famous quotes containing the words colored and/or flag:

    “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)

    “Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
    Eagle with crest of red and gold,
    These men were born to drill and die.
    Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
    Make plain to them the excellence of killing
    And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
    —Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
