About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Having our Say - Wonderful

    This book is an excellent way of bringing in a history lesson from two wonderful women who lived it. Two sisters with different personalities describing their view of what happened in their lives. I am very inspired to be appreciative for what we have. I love the way each sister tells it like is was and not hiding the hard facts about being black in such turbulent times. My daughter purchased it for one of her college classes. I grabbed it because I needed something to read at the time-- What a treat.

  • Great
