The story of the Delany sisters was largely unknown until reporter Amy Hill Hearth interviewed them in 1991 and expanded their story in this book, HAVING OUR SAY. The sisters were daughters of a former slave who became the first African-American elected Bishop in the Episcopal Church in the United States. At 100 years old, they each tell all the trials and tribulations, the progress and setbacks of racial issues in America that both had seen in their lifetimes. This is a fascinating and important book that went on to inspire a Broadway play and a film. 

Upon its publication in 1993, this essential oral history remained on the New York Times bestseller list for over six months!!

Hardcover 1st edition with original dust jacket.
