Nellie Venture Greene

Through questions about race and social practice asked by her daughter, Patsy, a mother shares with us some of the problems common to all parents and children of minority groups. Patsy's questions reveal what she is thinking and how she is thinking in developing her concepts of race relationships. Mrs. Greene is remembered for her article, “If Children Learn Early” appearing in April 1946 childhood education. She has recently compiled some child lore for the Association and is completing a children's picture book of Washington, D. C. She was formerly a nursery school teacher in the District of Columbia schools.
