Having Our Say by Sarah L Delany

Having Our Say by Sarah L Delany

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.

Amy Hill Hearth is the author of Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women's Literary Society and Miss Dreamsville and the Lost Heiress of Collier County, as well as seven nonfiction works, including the New York Times bestseller-turned-Broadway drama Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years. Hearth, a former New York Times reporter, began her career as a reporter for a tiny daily newspaper in Florida, where she met her future husband, Blair (a resident of Collier County). She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Tampa.
