Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years Prebound - 1994
by Sarah Louise Delany; A. Elizabeth Delany; Amy Hill Hearth (With)
Filled with humorous and poignant anecdotes, this New York Times bestselling dual memoir offers a rare glimpse into the birth of black freedom and the rise of the black middle class in America. Sadie and Bessie's lifelong insights provide readers with a priceless oral history of our nation's past century.
First line
Both more than one hundred years old, Sarah ("Sadie") Delany and her sister, Annie Elizabeth ("Bessie") Delany are among the oldest living witnesses to American history.
From the jacket flap
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.
