“I want to feel the surging
Of my sad people’s soul
Hidden by a minstrel-smile.”
—Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)
“The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
