Having Our Say: The Delany Sister's First 100 Years

Sarah Louise Delany, A. Elizabeth Delany, Amy Hill Hearth

Having Our Say: The Delany Sister's First 100 Years

School & Library Binding (San Val Sept. 1, 1994)
Warm, feisty, and intelligent, the Delany sisters speak their mind in a book that is at once a vital historical record and a moving portrait of two remarkable women who continued to love, laugh, and embrace life after over a hundred years of living side by side.

Their sharp memories show us the post-Reconstruction South and Booker T. Washington; Harlem's Golden Age and Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Paul Robeson. Bessie breaks barriers to become a dentist; Sadie quietly integrates the New York City system as a high school teacher. Their extraordinary story makes an important contribution to our nation's heritage--and an indelible impression on our lives.
