"HAVING OUR SAY" opens as 103-year-old Sadie Delany and
101-year-old Bessie Delany welcome us into their Mount Vernon, New York, home.
As they prepare a celebratory dinner in remembrance of their father's birthday,
they take us on a remarkable journey through the last hundred years of our
nation's history, recounting a fascinating series of events and anecdotes drawn
from their rich family history and careers as pioneering African-American
professionals. Their story is not simply African-American history or women's
history. It is our history, told through the eyes of two unforgettable women as
they look not only into the past, but also ahead into the twenty-first
century.
