The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years - Having Our Say

great book for college students studying gerontology, social work or any profession dealing with older people. I read this book and fell in love with the main character and the author of the book, its very inspiring and warms your heart up

This is a delightful book and filled with history. See our nation's history through the eyes of two black women. It will show you parts of history you never knew about. At other times they bring you to a new understanding of events in the life of our country.

It was interesting to read their stories. We don't get to hear about the times after the Civil War through Jim Crow and into the nineties. Generations should hear how those rose and succeeded during difficult times.

I didn't discover the Delaney Sisters until after they were gone, but they left their legacy behind for all of us to absorb and pass on. This should be in every school library in America and a resource for history classes from junior high on up! I gave several copies as graduation gifts with the hope that the wisdom they contain will add lessons in practicality, humility, and gratitude to academics.
