Quote #10

"Well, maybe, we go to a museum." 

The first time he suggested this, she demanded, in panic, if they would be allowed to enter. "Sure, they let n*****s in," Richard said. "Ain't we got to be educated, too—to live with the m***********s?" (2.3.88-90)

Elizabeth's surprise at Richard's suggestion to go to a museum shows the limits that a racially divided society has put on her own sense of possibility. Even though it's allowed for them to enter the museums, they are the only black people there. Richard hates white people, but he feels he needs to be educated in order to compete in a society where whites rule.
