MEET SARAH RECTOR, THE 11-YEAR-OLD WHO BECAME THE RICHEST BLACK GIRL IN AMERICA IN 1913 Have you heard of the 11yr old millionaire in 1911? Before Oklahoma was granted statehood, it was known as Indian Territory. In the 1820s and 1830s, five nations (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, & Seminole) were forced to give up their land and move west of the Mississippi to what was designated as Indian Country. Fast forward to the end of the Civil War. Indian tribes were pressured to make the black people among them citizens of their nations. The Creek who were loyal to the Union had already done this with the black people who lived with them. The land was also an issue. Initially given 350 million acres, Indian Territory was reduced to about 20 million. By the time 1890 arrived the takeover of the remainder of the territory had already begun. Here is why this brief history lesson is important. The U.S. government started dividing up land to give to citizens of the different nations. The Creek were given about 160 acres. The Creek took an area and formed the town of Twine. In 1907, Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory became Oklahoma. Sara Rector was born in Twine, in 1902 in Twine, now known as Taft Okla. When Sarah was four, she was one of the people given a small tract of land by the U.S. government. The land could not be used for much as it was rocky & not very good for farming. Her parents also had to pay a land tax that was an extreme hardship for them. Her parents tried to sell the land but a law preventing the sale of lands belonging to minors, prevented the sale. Born as the daughter of freedmen in 1902, #SarahRector rose from humble beginnings to reportedly become the wealthiest black girl in the nation at the age of 11. Rector and her family where African American members of the Muscogee Creek Nation who lived in a modest cabin in the predominantly black town of Taft, Oklahoma, which, at the time, was considered Indian Territory. Following the Civil War, Rector’s parents, who were formerly enslaved by Creek Tribe members, were entitled to land allotments under the Dawes Allotment Act of 1887.
