Description for HAVING OUR SAY by Sarah L Delany and A Elizabeth Delany with Amy Hill Hearth: Warm, feisty, and intelligent, the Delany sisters speak their mind in a book that is a t 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?Çöand an indelible impression on our lives. Show more
