"Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 10 Years" runs April 6-8 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts.

Kathryn Harris and Patricia Davis portray Sadie and Bessie Delany in the play "Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years." They spoke to Community Voices about the sisters who lived to be more than 100 years old, and what it's like to perform on stage together again.
