Middle class Quote by Redd Foxx
“I'm convinced that Sanford and Son shows middle-class America a lot of what they need to know. The show doesn't drive home a lesson, but it can open up people's minds enough for them to see how stupid every kind of prejudice can be. This is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm coming to join ya, honey!”
