The daughters of a minister born in slavery and a brilliant woman of mixed ancestry, the story of the Delany sisters begins in Reconstruction and progresses through the rise of Jim Crow, two world wars, the civil and women’s rights movements, up to the present. 

103-year old Sadie and 101-year old Bessie Delany take us on a remarkable journey through the last 100 years of our nation’s history.  A must for audiences of all races!
