Yak was the name of the place near Danville where the Delany sisters grew 
up.  They described their experiences in the best-seller "Having Our Say." 
 Years ago I asked folks in Danville where Yak was and no one gave me a 
clear answer, though one person seemed to remember it.  If you Google 
"Delany Yak" you'll get some hits.
