Why would Toni Morrison choose children’s experiences, surroundings, and thoughts to expose the themes of race, segregation, and assimilation?

In response to the question posed earlier, I feel Morrison uses children to express the racism in the book because children are seen as the purest form of the human race and are usually partial to views. Children are easily influenced by their parents and other members of the society. This can be seen in the scence with the blue eyed babydoll. Morrison writes "Adults, older girls, shops, magazines, newspapers, windown signs- all the world had agreed that a blue-eyed, yellow-haired, pink-skinned doll was what every girl child treasured" (20). Morrison uses children to tell the story because they do not know any different and it gives readers an insight into the hardships and difficulties blacks faced during this time. The book shows that black children have just accepted the way of life, not because they were forced to but because they don't know any better. Also, Morrison probably uses children because readers might tend to be more emotionally involved with children than adults.
