The Delany sisters had a rough time with oppression and segregation.  Luckily they were more sheltered and didn't experience it as bad as some other African Americans did.  I chose this picture because Bessie Delany had a close run in with the KKK.  She said she was almost killed by the clan. She was walking home and was confronted by them.  She gave rude excuse and was almost captured by them.  Luckily she escaped.  This picture shows how scary the KKK was and how dangerous it was for the Delany sisters during this time.
