Having Our Say: The Delaney Sisters' First 100 Years
HAVING OUR SAY: THE DELANEY SISTERS’ FIRST 100 YEARS opens as 103-year-old Sadie Delany and
101-year-old Bessie Delany welcome us into their Mount Vernon, New York, home. As they prepare a celebratory
dinner in remembrance of their father’s birthday, they take us on a remarkable journey through the last hundred
years of our nation’s history, recounting a fascinating series of events and anecdotes drawn from their rich family history and careers as pioneering African-American professionals. Their story is not simply African-American
history or women’s history. It is our history, told through the eyes of two unforgettable women as they look not
only into the past, but also ahead into the twenty-first century.
