Having Our Say - Sarah L. Delany, A. Elizabeth Delany, Amy Hill Hearth

The Delany Sister’s First 100 Years

KORTE INHOUD

Two extraordinary women tell their stories of a century of American history, and of family, love and living "forever"

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.
