Having Our Say

In this compelling oral history, the Delany sisters recall their formative years, growing up as members of a distinguished middle-class black family in Raleigh, North Carolina, and their years in New York, where Bessie became a noted dentist in the Harlem community, and Sadie was the first African-American teacher of science employed by the New York City Board of Education. Their two personalities come out as they recall difficult times and times of triumph with candor and wit. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
