THEY GAVE Her Barren LAND FOR BEING COLORED In 1913, a 10-year-old girl named Sarah Rector was awarded a 160-acre parcel in Oklahoma as part of a land allotment program. Since the best farmland was intended for white people, she was allocated a plot of land that was considered unproductive. However, oil was later discovered on that land, leading her to become one of the country's first African-American millionaires.
