Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years (1999)

Two pioneering African American sisters, Bessie (Ruby Dee), 101 years old, and Sadie (Diahann Carroll), 103 years old, recount the ups and downs of their lives to New York Times journalist Amy Hill Hearth (Amy Madigan) in this true story. Spanning from their childhood in North Carolina at the end of the 19th century to the twilight of their lives in New York more than a century later, "Having Our Say" follows the sisters as they find success and happiness despite overwhelming odds.
