At just ten years old, Sarah Rector became one of the wealthiest children in America, an extraordinary twist of fate for a Black girl born into the shadows of slavery and segregation in early 20th-century Oklahoma. But what should have been a story of triumph quickly unraveled into a national scandal, a legal battle, and a painful lesson in how America responds to Black wealth and Black innocence. Too Young, Too Rich, Too Black: The Legal War Over a Child's Fortune is a gripping, emotionally charged companion to the acclaimed film Sarah's Oil. This guide goes beyond the screen, diving deep into the real historical records, court cases, and cultural tensions that shaped Sarah Rector's life and legacy. With meticulous detail and raw human insight, author Harold Belles unearths the full weight of a story long buried by history: how a Black child's oil fortune ignited a legal and racial firestorm, revealing the hidden machinery of American power and prejudice.
