In 1913, a young 10-year-old girl named Sarah Rector was given a 160-acre parcel of land in Oklahoma, simply because she was part of a land allotment program. But since the best land was reserved for white people, they gave her what was considered barren, unproductive land. 🌾What no one could have predicted was that oil would later be discovered on that very land. This unexpected turn of events made Sarah one of the first African-American millionaires in the country, proving that even in a world set against her, destiny had other plans. 💫From barren land to boundless fortune, Sarah’s story is a testament to resilience and luck. 💰

Quincy Jones: “Vegas in ‘64 was so racist, Belafonte was working in the big room for $17,000 a week, they were not allowed in the casino. They had to eat in the kitchen, sing, and go to a black hotel across town. So Frank said ‘we’re not gonna have more of that.’ So, we came in, we had 18 goombahs put with each one of us. And he stopped the racism in one year, for Basie, Sammy, myself and Basie’s band. He stopped it, man. Cold!”Photo: Quincy Jones, Count Basie, and Frank Sinatra in the studio to record their album It Might As Well Be Swing, 1964
