You're Never Too Old

Think you're too old to try something new? To chase that dream you've been putting off for years? Consider the story of the Delaney sisters. Sadie and Bessie Delaney were warm, spirited, and independent African-American sisters who witnessed both the birth of black freedom and the rise of the black middle class in America. With such a unique perspective on black history, the sisters decided to put their thoughts, feelings, and memories to paper in the form of a dual autobiography. Not so newsworthy if you choose to ignore the ages at which this work was completed. The sisters published their story at the ages of 101 and 103 years old. You're never too old; the Delaney sisters are the proof.
