Born enslaved in 1849 Georgia, Amanda America Dickson inherited 17,000 acres and $309,000 from her white father in 1885—then had to fight 79 white relatives in court to keep it. This is the true story of how a formerly enslaved woman became one of the wealthiest Black Americans in the 19th century and won a landmark case in the Georgia Supreme Court.
From the cotton fields of Hancock County to a mansion in Augusta, Amanda's journey challenges everything we think we know about power, race, and survival in the Jim Crow South.
