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

TY for this.

R.I.P., gone but never forgotten, thank you, sisters, for all your knowledge & help to others! 🩵🩵

one of the things I noticed before 1960 Black had a lot of potential Dignity morals. sought out education. even after being Dehumanized. what happen to all those good qualities. it was the drugs and the we don’t have no jobs for you Blacks 1970 errors that Destroyed the morals and potential of a large percentage of black peoples. if you didn’t get to play sports or entertainment. you was stuck in the hood.

it is crazy what Black peoples had to endure in this country.

I noticed they was light skinned. thing have all was been Easier for the light skin Biracial. so times whites could not tell they was Black. 😊

They show could teach them females today how to be single for a while.😊

Such a poignant story. I loved following and watching these two for years.

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.

Are you the reporter from the movie if so....thank you for helping expose them and their rich history...im 35 i first read and saw about them when i was in 6th grade

I didnt see the play but the movie is literally one of my favorites and is on KZbin for the present!

Me & my mother went to see the play it was wonderful she also has 2 books remember a clove of Garlic cod liver oil & lots of veggies an live a clean life

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

What gems!✨💜💜✨

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!

They’re not all black.

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 did read the book and just loved it. These two sisters bring such joy to me.

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

My soul!!!!! What a gorgeous family!!!!

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.

💐💐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. 💐💐

This absolutely made my day! Thank you so much for sharing this blessing. What beautiful souls these sisters ❤

so sweet. wonderful to see them on youtube. they make me proud. i read their book, and saw their play in Houston during high school.

Heart has no bounds

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

The Delany sisters are great role models for STRONG SINGLE women! Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, vitamins , and stay hydrated!

I first read about these amazing women in a book about Centegenerians about twenty-five years ago. They are so amazing and inspirational. I wish that the sound quality of this video were better it was very hard to hear.

What a beautiful story! ❤❤❤❤

I loved this book!

❤️ 💙 💜 💖 Beautiful Ladies

This is American history. Racism, bigotry and perseverance. These stories should be told in history class.

Awesome Amazing Story ❤

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!

Powerful ✊🏾
