Sarah
| Sarah DuBois | |
|---|---|
| First appearance | "The Trial of R. Kelly" |
| Portrayed by | Jill Talley |
Sarah DuBois is the least prevalent character from the DuBois family. She, like her husband, is liberal and fiercely political. She focuses her efforts on political action against the conservative parties. She is incredibly casual about her interracial marriage, even going so far as to joke about it when Tom is mocked and attacked for it. Sarah is a member of the NAACP and a self-proclaimed "crusader for black rights." She and Tom have also clashed over her support for Ralph Nader. There have been numerous references to Sarah regretting marrying Tom, mostly due because Tom's fear of going to jail and getting raped has caused both of them to miss out in lot in life. Sarah is shown to be much more playful and low-key than Tom, which leads to strains on their relationship (such as when he refused to lighten up and have a little extra wine on their anniversary due to his prison rape phobia). She is hinted to be somewhat sexually frustrated. She fantasizes about strong, successful black men like Barack Obama and Usher.

Famous quotes containing the word sarah:
““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.””
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
