Ninety-three-year-old Josephine Wright’s home has been in her family since the end of the Civil War.
Now more than 150 years later, developers who tried to buy her out have filed a lawsuit against her, built a road about 20 feet from her front porch and show no signs of letting up.
But Wright is putting up a fight. She has countersued the developers, enlisted the help of a civil rights attorney and so successfully argued her case in national media, she’s got celebrities like Tyler Perry and Kyrie Irving lining up to help. An online fundraising effort for Wright had brought in more than $167,000 by Tuesday.

What kind of place do we live in? This is disgusting.
Got all these black celebrities can't help this woman out basketball players' football players smh but they quick to throw it in the club
The things White people do. As evil as they want to be.
What exactly are they suing her for?
This is literally the movie UP.
They offered her 30 thousands. Mf that’s not enough to buy new land and house. At least pay her so she could buy new property and new home dum fucks
Could you imagine if someone was harassing a developer’s elderly kin.
These developers are scumbags, wtf in this country you dont even own the land you are deeded? They can force people out and take their land just to ruin the natural landscape and build a freaking suburb! To hell with that if you own your land you best be ready to defend it, or these bastards will take it from you.
Those developers need to be shamed and investigated to see how many other people they have done this to. Good for her that she is fighting back
Shame on the developers.
The land should be historically protected
She does not look 93.
I wouldnt wana give up my property either.
This is shameful
No one should be able to force you to sell to a developer.
They’ll probably use eminent domain in court to evict her.
If it’s hers lawfully, then how can/should a developer sue? I’m all for development, I’m all for builders building, but only after good practices have been achieved…

This is so entertaining!🍓
