The book "having Our Say" is the story of two sisters, Sadie (103 at the time of the book) and Bessie (101 at the time of the book) Delany. The amazing story of the two women who never married but lived to gather for most of their lives is a "warming" good-feeling story that makes you think. The story of these two women shows you the world through the eyes of colored women in a racist world. The book will make you laugh and make you think. I thought the book was interesting and very worth while to read. I would recommend this book to anyone, it tells history and yet the story is much more interesting than reading a history textbook. You get to see the history from the eyes of those who experienced it first hand. The story of Sadie and Bessie Delany can teach us a lot, not only about racial discrimination and the unfairness of it but they tell their secret to living for over a hundred years. They had each other. Everyone needs a reason to keep going; they were each others strongest reason. They motivated each other. These two women were extremely extraordinary and lived extraordinary lives and their story illustrates this.
