S5 Ep. 1 - The Sarah Rector Story w/ Dr. Lauren Henley
In this first episode of the season, Dr. Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul sits down with Dr. Lauren Henley at the University of Richmond to discuss the little known but highly interesting story of Sarah Rector. Dubbed "The Richest Black Girl in America", Rector's story is one of blessing, fear, courage and resilience. Rector was the daughter of Black farmers whose ancestors had been enslaved by the Creek tribe in Oklahoma. Because of this, the family was allotted free land by the federal government as a form of reparations. Everything changed in 1913, when land began gushing oil and Rector became the first youngest Black millionaire in American history.
