Publisher, Audio Renaissance (1993) "When you get real old, honey, you lay it all on the table. There's an old saying: Only little children and old folks tell the truth." --Bessie Delany "This audio presentation is a special delight-- you hear the Delany sisters in an exclusive introduction and you get to listen to Whoopi Goldberg read their inspiring chronicle... Don't miss the Delany Sisters; they know a great deal and share it with you most generously." --BookPage Sadie and Bessie Delany are the daughters of a man born into slavery who became America's first elected black Episcopal bishop, and were themselves among the first African-American women professionals in New York City. In this unvarnished, entertaining and inspiring memoir-- written after both sisters passed the century mark-- they share the triumphs and setbacks of a lifetime spent side by side. Their lifelong insights provide us with a priceless history of our nation's past century. And what they say shows us, as nothing else can, where we've been, how far we've come -- and how far we need to go. |
