Sadie and Bessie Delany have lived for almost 200 years together and have seen it all. They watched as their father—who was born into slavery—became the first black Episcopal bishop in the United States. At a period when Black people could not hope to complete high school, they saw their mother—a mixed-race lady who was born free—give birth to 10 children, all of whom would go on to become successful professionals with college degrees. They experienced the Jim Crow laws, the post-Reconstruction South, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Civil Rights Movement, and they had a lot to say about all of it in their own fierce, astute, and unique ways."Having Our Say" is more than just a first-hand narrative of black American history; it also imparts lessons on how to live a full life despite all the challenges we face.
