I’m so grateful for these recordings. I was told by my mother that these amazing women are my cousin.

❤❤❤❤❤❤... I cry every time I see the movie. My Mom just turned 100 years old. I'm so blessed that she's still healthy and happy.

❤️❤️❤️❤️I don't even have words to express how high of esteem I hold these beautiful elders. No words. ❤️

They didn't need to get married because they had each other. Beautiful souls. R.I.P beautiful angels.

I went to go see the Broadway Play and their movie “Having Our Say”. I sat down and visited with the two DelanySisters, they were wonderful. My Great Grandmother lived to be 112 (1859-1971). My Grandfather lived to be 110:(1877-1987) My Grandmother lived to be 103 (1905-2008). My parents are entering their 90’s. I grew up with respecting and enjoying the company of my elders. Even volunteered in a retirement home in college. I loved hearing their stories. People have no idea what an invaluable education you can obtain by sitting down with your elders. Do not toss aside an opportunity to hear about your history from people that were there, before that opportunity is gone.

I saw the movie and read both books in 2003. These women changed my thinking and my life.

I miss these two. I read "Having Our Say" as soon as it came out. Beautiful souls.

These sisters are so sweet! I wish the world was filled with more like them. ❤

Outstanding black women 💜

I didn't just read "Having Our Say," I internalized it. God bless these magnificent sisters! I cherish them in my heart.

This book changed my life as a kid and has influenced my work today as a producer. I did my first monologue as a theater kid based on Dr. Bessie’s opening chapter: “People learned not to mess with me from day one.” Me and my classmate did a two woman play based their dialogue and had our classmates laughing. I also had the gift of seeing it on Broadway as a kid. It changed the way I view the concept of “old people” forever and for the better, I believe. Thank you for your work Ms. Hill Hearth!

One of my favorite parts of their story is how they did NOT want a telephone-even if someone was paid to be in their home to answer it. I remember chuckling, at the time, about that statement Well, I too, am now at the age where I don’t want another electronic gizmo of any kind; I’ve had ENOUGH, even if I had unlimited IT support the answer is still NO! God bless, you Two, for leading the charge: No thank you! Don’t need it! Don’t want it! 😂❤️

Our neighbors. Rest In Power.

Their book was given to me in the 90's awesome.i think I should read it again...2020

I cant help but smile and get teary eyed, whenever I see them. Thank you.

I was blessed to get a front row Complimentary Broadway ticket to see them many years ago. They were Extremely Smart, I continued "Clapping with Joy" May God bless their family.

Bessie @2:57 “they liked ta dropped dead….maybe it’d been better if they had dropped dead” 😭😂 she reminds me so much of all my aunties that have gone to glory. ❤️

Wow now I want to learn more about these wonderful ladies 💕

I read their book in college. I still have it today. Ms. Betsy was a spitfire honey !!😊

Having our Say is one of my more treasured books, smart and charming ladies.

Woah... I had no idea that they were doing yoga at that age.

I saw the Broadway Play based on their life story and read their books Having Our Say and On My Own at 107. All 3 were very good!

Just read their book again after many years: such National Treasures are the Delany Sisters and their family

Love this. Makes me want to reread the books. My aunt Mary Alice played Bessie on Broadway☺️

They're truly amazing

"If it helps just one person,it's worth doing".Mama Delany sisters. Just love them,God rest their souls in eternal peace,they blessed mine.

I read their book and saw the play. Remarkable women.

I would have loved to have met them. I'm reading their Book of Everyday Wisdom right now.

Just stumbled up on the movie of these two sisters THE DELANY SISTERS!!! It was awesome!!! I am so PROUD of their story and life!!!! As they say colored and educated!! May they R.I.P. together forever! ❤

I remember these wonderful ladies! ❤️

They are just wonderful!!

I know it used to be an anomaly to have 100 year old people walking around in their right mind. But, today it's very common. Let's cherish and celebrate those that have reached an advanced age with grace and dignity!

So brilliant, so beautiful, so sweet.

Beautiful ❤️

I don't know why I just heard about the Delany Sisters but I am so glad I did. I Am a Southerner's and I want have it any other way! 2023. Thank You Delany Family!

💐💐RIP Sarah Louise "Sadie" Delany (September 19, 1889 - January 25, 1999)(aged 109), and Annie Elizabeth "Bessie" Delany (3 September 1891 - 25 September 1995) (aged 104) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you both and your family. 💐💐

I saw the play @the Indiana Repertory theater read the book and saw the movie, these two ladies lived a fascinating life, the whole family has lived a precious life, wow thank you Ms Bessie and Ms Sadie for sharing your life story and rest in perfect peace

I’m from North Carolina and I’m honored that they are from NC ❤️ I watched the movie before the book ...and my heart always broke for Sadie seemed like she wanted to marry her beau who was at Shaw

Lovely souls

Thank you so much for sharing

What beautiful souls 💛

Watching this made me happy and teary eyed 😣💗

Beautiful sisters

Beautiful ❤

Beautiful. Very wise and intellectual ladies. Thanks for the post. It is important to know that a person could live a good life if they take it one day at a time. Success comes with how an individual chose to accept it being good or bad.

2 iconic women wish they where my grandmothers. They remind me of my grandmothers first cousins.

I watch their story, one late night during black history month, it came on like 2am in the morning, anyway I was so amazed at them Dianhann Carroll and Ruby Dee, played the sisters....I said my I'm going to eat a piece of garlic a day and exercise to..... I have never seen it since, so here I am looking for it again. Beautiful ladies.

Thank you their story should be told for history month in February. I will order their book May they rest in peace!😎

i pray to live to c 100 r longer. rip great ladies i believe they passed.

Amazing ladies, truly inspired by their wisdom and love of life. Great play as well, adapted my none other than Emily Mann.

It's Raleigh North Carolina. But beautiful documentary. I live about 20 minutes from Raleigh. I read the book and saw the movie, awsome family from here in North Carolina.

AMAZING

Omg… I absolutely love these 2 dynamic women💋♥️❤️♥️❤️ I enjoyed their book 2😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

I have watched the movie on NBC a hundred times. I love them and what they represent. Love!

That’s so beautiful 🎉

These women are inspirational. I am so glad their stories have been told. I saw the Broadway show about their lives as well as the movie version.

Love the Delany Sisters ❤❤❤

Beautiful ladies!!! Why can't the world see the value in all of us.

I just finished watching the movie and I'm upset that I've never seen it until now. These women were amazing!

These two wonderful 💎💎💎💎 is a repository of living knowledge. A true historical treasure. Than you beautiful sisters for there historical lesson. True salt of the earth.

I remember watching their movie and loved it! R.I.POWER QUEENS!

Read that book years ago it was a delight

I so enjoyed watching the movie about their lives and keep saying I need to get the book, which I will order today. These two ladies had a long and decent life, even though they went through some hard times. They will never be forgotten.

I remember my mother giving me their book when I was a teenager and I was just so intrigued by these women. They came from an era so long ago and they were different as night and day. But how beautiful it was for them to have each other for over a hundred years.

Our theater will be presenting two wonderful actresses portraying the sisters. It will be February 19 and 20, 2021.

I never read the book, but I saw the movie and I fell in love with them. I recently took my daughter on a tour of HBCUs and had no idea that the Delaney building at St Augustine’s was named for their family. I really would love for my daughter to go there. We went to Shaw also.

Wonderful to see.

Loved their book. I am impressed with these ladies and their families.

I loved this book!

What a beautiful story! ❤❤❤❤

A blast from the past. Truly inspired

Great title! You do help other’s!

Yes brings back memories of sitting with my two Aunts … they told us many stories of life early in their lives in the south , migrating to NYC during the Harlem Renaissance and the real deal in the about those “rebels boys” as Bessie always called them…. Funny when I was born they they were in the late 60’s…. my grandfather (Lucious) died Before I was 8.. and all the brothers and sisters were activist and trailblazers but they are part of an amazing family and it was great knowing them and hearing about my family and history they came out of down in south and later and legacy their they left for us to realize

Oceans of blessings y'all
